Zeto I am not sure about that !
I will check my parts list and measure the Type 65 Nippy axle behind my lathe,
There is an box saloon case beside it, and a spare Ruby Girling axle case.
The Girling axle case is also visualy the same apart from the brake back plate ends.
The outer case is visually identical to the box saloon one.
I have fitted David Cochranes sports crown wheel and pinion set into another spare axle which is fitted to my Type 65.
( I Hillclimb the car so I want to preserve the original back axle )
The parts list has the crown wheel & pinion 90 degree fill adaptor and torque tube anchorage as special items, there is no axle case listed so that is the same as the standard car.
Nippy 8-45
Box Saloon Ruby 8-42 So not much difference in crownwheel diameter.
https://austinsevenfriends.co.uk/Bruce/D...tments.htm Gives a good exploded view.
The mechanics and internal assembly are identical between the axle cases.
The Type 65 had the earlier pinion design without shoulder as did most Nippys.
So a difference in torque tube internals from the 37 onwards design with the shouldered pinion.
Brakes and backplates changed as did the torque tube anchorage.
My references are from the three axles in the garage Bill Williams ( A7 specials ) 750 Companion,Chis Gould ( Guide to Type 65 & Nippy)
Quote from Chris Gould,
Rear Axle, The rear axle was the same as the touring car of the same time except it was fitted with a 5.625 ratio. The casings had 8/45 stamped on them with a large S to denote Sports.
My Type 65 Axle corresponds with his description.
( It actually has a 1937 shouldered pinion fitted so it has been replaced with the later part which was also fitted to late Vans )
