Hi Colin
Thanks and a slight correction to my first post this thread
https://www.austinsevenfriends.co.uk/for...133&page=2
Shows the original Austin ledgers and quotes 22 1/2”. and 23 1/2” for the two axle shafts.
I know David has done a lot of research on half shafts so perhaps his figures relate closer to actual measured shafts.
I am certain Steve is correct in there being 2 5/16” difference between the lengths of the axle cases but that still leaves 11/16” to make up to get the difference in track. Is it possible that the thickness of the 1 1/4 brake drum and open centre wheel material could account for some of this?
A bit pedantic really. I’ve got the answer I really wanted from Steve (thanks)
Cheers
Howard
