Greetings
I am in the throes of setting up a Ruby semi-girling cross shaft. To help me get the multitude of bits all in their right positions before I start making felt seals, I need to know a critical chassis dimension. What is the offset from the closed face of the fore-aft central brace (the one with the row of big holes) to the centre line of the car ?
I have already had a couple of goes at getting this information:
Approach 1 was to grovel underneath and get a faceful of black oil. This resulted in a measured 2 3/8 inches, the brace itself has an upper and lower flange which I measure as 1 inch wide.
Approach 2 was to look at the A7CA archive, but the dimensions on the drawing I found were too fuzzy to read, unless I am doing something wrong.
Suggestions welcome !
P.S. I make the distance between the centres of the outer bearings 20 5/32 inches, but if anyone disagrees I'd be interested.
