In my understanding 1933 *should* be a 1" dia shaft.
From some time in 1934 the shaft, which was still 1" for most of its length, acquired a 1.125" thicker section adjacent to the pinion.
This presumes of course that no-one has mucked about with the innards radically.
If it has gone bang you'd be well advised to check the condition (esp. run-out) of the diff carrier before installing a new CWP.
If not, and it's not making a dreadful noise, I'd take a peep inside before buying new parts; sometimes original parts are in surprisingly good condition and still have much service left in them.
Chris,
Thanks for your reply, I have just finished renovating my car and driven it about 50 miles there is is a very loud noise from the rear axle on drive which goes when I take my foot off accelerator.
As I did not strip the Diff originally I thought it would be best to do a proper job now I know the rest of the car is sorted.
Are the shafts interchangeable?
