I cant speak for your 68. But on my 1960 W300, the M715 rear hubs would not center the wheel in the fender well. They also would stick out further on the front. The stock w300 hubs had to be machined to accept the rotor flanges. Then proper spacing had to be determined for mounting the rotor flanges on the hub. Then welding the flanges on the hub and machining them true. The M715 mounts the axle on top of the spring, the 60, W300 mounts the axle below the spring. Stock M715
caliper brackets interfere with the top caliper pin hitting the spring pak. The caliper bracket has to be re-indexed and new holes drilled to rotate it for caliper pin to spring pak clearance.
