[35ragtop]

Hi Barners,
I am wondering if anyone has changed a complete 34 rear assembly for a later model, say 35-39. I have been unable to find a good set of 4.11 gears (I prefer the lower ratio)to suit the 34 banjo, So am looking at doing a complete swap. Housings ,spring, gears ,banjo, axles torque tube and drive shaft.
I am currently running a hydraulic brake set up.
Dimensionally the width backing plate to backing plate is 30mm oa wider on the later version. That's about .6 inch either side.
The later straight spring should fit into the cross member in the correct location, as the spring perches are further back on the later.
The torque tube and drive shaft would need to be shortened by about 220mm (8.6 inches), and could be a problem to do I guess, and the radius rods may need to be shortened.

Am I missing something here?
Your experiences and input would be valuable thank you.
Dave
