I was meaning that the internals are small diameter spline in a big nut box. Wonder if the tooth count is different than type 2 small nut parts.Dual Port wrote:That (sway bar?) bracket on the lower left of the photo is not on Marla's axle.

That's what she had, small nut internals and small nut outer housing mounted on a big nut axle tube and inner housing. The ratios count out correct, 1.39 sn and 1.26 bn.toolbox wrote:I was meaning that the internals are small diameter spline in a big nut box.

If you're referring to the 181 RGB, I obviously don't know what the gearing is on that.......

From what we are learning about this bus, Marla can change her username to "Bastard Bus"
Re: 1960 SO-23 A.K.A. Gunther
Thanks for the challenge Rick but Gunther will still be riding slow just not working as hard doing it.
Aren't they all bastards after 55 years in the making?

I agree with Marla chances are somewhere along the line a non standard repair /swap was done to keep them going.
