Many thanks Chris
My guess is that 90% of persons who have assembled Seven diffs over the last 90 year would have been unaware of this. Without delving into the deepest strata in my basement, does it apply to all a/c assemblies or just the very first?
If they thought about it at all, some diligent mechanics would have probably arranged for slight capture. I cannot remember what I last did. Possibly rotated whilst tightening so the free race could align. The situation is a far cry from the rigidity of a preloaded taper roller! (or the situation of front crank bearings)
Hopefully the modified bearings now available are finished to very accurate thickness.
I wonder what the observant have typically found when dismantling? Examples of considerable end float would seem likely.
