Took photo of tudor rear axle six bolt type..Is this the same ring and pinion as model A ? I was going to take this down LA shop and have them install new 3.54 ring and pinion ..the R&P I bot said 28 thru 32 ..anyone have a photo of late 32 or 33 34 type so I can compare ? don't want to make a trip for nothing If I bot the wrong R&P..

Here is a pic of the late 32 and all 33-34 R&P.The banjo housing where it meets the torque tube is scalloped,not round like yours.
Here is a banjo housing on EBAY.click on the link and you will see the difference .

If the torque tube big end is round instead of scalloped, the rear end center section will take Model A ring gear and pinion.

Don't worry, the picture is clear enough to tell that it is not scalloped. The Model A gears are the correct ones. When you drop it off at the rebuilder ask if his has an example he can show you. I have the same project, who are you going to take it to for rebuilding?

I have heard enough good things about Tom that it would be worth the trip. You should check the ratio you currently have to get a baseline.

What you describe sounds like you currently have 4.11s which were very common.

Numbers are stamped on the banjo web(bottom side).That tells you what the gear ratio is unless of course it was changed which is doubtful.

Will check numbers on outside of banjo...for those who are not sure of difference between early 32 and late 32 33 34 see enclosed pic.... lots of difference ..
