My 1935 ORT is rapidly approaching terminal backlash in the back axle... I've been planning to replace it for about 7 years now with a semi girling one to match the brakes on the front... and think it probably a good idea to do something before I loose forward motion. I'd really like a useable semi girling back axle if anyone has one, but could settle for a mk2 Ruby torque tube (as complete as possible to ensure that I have everything needed for reassembling) I have bits to assemble a complete axle and spare CWP but the torque tube was modified for different bearings by the p.o.... Any assistance much appreciated.

Thanks Robert... Thats a good point! My chassis has the ball replaced by the silent bloc type mount bolted in but I have another of the connecting thingamybobs with a knackered silent bloc bush... I'll pm you. Does anyone have the silent bloc bushes in stock?
