Distributor : 45D spindle into 25D body?

Not sure if I should call this spindle or shaft - the steel bits that turn including the advance weights and cam. Anyway it looks like the later 45D shaft is a possible drop in replacement for the 25D shaft, it goes into the 25D body and I can still use the 25D rotor arm.
Would like to know if anyone else has done this and if there is anything to watch out for?

Possible to do. Many years ago I tried and if memory is correct it needed some extra shims. Think it gives less time to load condenser,so unsure if there is any benefit.

edit;To clarify; I am talking about changing the complete rotating assembly.Not just the top part.
