Pre-'66 Rear Axle

swedishandgerman · May 16th, 2011, 15:05

I have a pre-'66 saloon rear axle which has been sitting in my barn for yonks, useless to me as it doesn't fit my later type suspension

I think it came off a D-reg (from memory) 122S scrapper which had overdrive, so it could be a 4.56:1. Anyone able to tell me how I can find out if it is a 4.1:1 or a 4.56:1?

Condition unknown as I've never driven with it

Is it worth something to someone? Otherwise it's going in a gert big truck with all my dad's disused farming junk destined for the scrap yard while the value of scrap is so high. Anyone want a combine? Or a milking parlour?

Collection from Tiverton, Devon

There might be a tab under one of the bolts with a number on it.

Any drums on it for Quarterless?

A couple bad photos of it:

Looks like there is a brake drum on it. Is it going spare? as no one else has got back to me with any so far.
And thanks for looking out for me Derek!

Yeah! It's still sitting there, still with my hub remover on it trying to get the very tight drum off..

I tried to PM you, but can't. You must be new to the forum. You could email me adamtwose@googlemail.com

Not sure when I'm next heading that way, but if it's any help, I may be able to get this axle back to London.
