Duane doesn't hang out here...

What's with the pix of the final drives?? Selling? Looking for info on them? I'm not sure I understand...

well on a tangent in another thread I was wondering what the point is to determine the 1/4" offset for the 68 on units

just peeking at one known that uses the 3.5 tire

and one known that uses the 4.0 tire

it doesn't just jump out and bite you

yeah, I am going to get shed of these and then some

anyhow, feel free to tell Duane he can use those and pretty much any in the huge album where they are stored

I think he may have sideways sorta bumped into me someplace else and may have been too bashful to ask....... or of course I may be mistaken

For a quick test 1/4" should be easy to see, put your No.2 (11/32) and No.4 (8/27) outside side down on a flat surface, stand them with the studs butted together and see if theres an obvious differential in height, on the studs and the brake backplate rim..

password huh......... hmm........ guess I didn't realize that since my puter logs in automatically

I guess that was smart since there are some albums with racing pix that involve no internal combustion

I'll move them to another bucket and unlock that one soon

I'll get the measuring stuff busy soon but a quick internet check didn't show the difference between the two and I was thinking it should be "jump out and bite you" obvious

think before I get started on that I'll just bring them all in and positively ID the lot

tomorrow is another day and thanks guys

and of course Duane or anyone having interest in such pix, you are welcome to use them if they are of use, and if you simple phone me like a normal human would, you might find I'd be willing to take specific photographs comparing items if that would be useful

but I'm not going to work myself too awfully hard ;)
