Weber Idf floats - chasing my tail!!

Just wondered if anyone else has had this issue. If not, it may help someone in the future. Was setting up a new distributor the other day, so left the ignition on and fuel pump running.

Early or late stub axle

Looking to change the front stub axle, as the threads on the centre shaft have gone, but little confused after reading a few forum posts on early and lates.
My vans from 1981 but I think I have a late stub axle, as there’s no threads in calliper mounting holes?!? Is this normal?

I have ATE Brakes.
