Does anyone know of a person or place, within a couple hundred or so mile radius, (easy driving distance for a tired old fart) of north central WV that can rebuild, (change gear set, bearings and seals, anything else wore out, gear back lash, bearing preload, etc), on a early production (round flange) '32 rear end? Please. Thanks

There are posts on here that say the 'round flange' banjo '32 rear is the same as the '31 Model A rear. I have contacted a couple of Model A clubs up in Pittsburgh Pa. They are somewhat relunctant to help, or add another thousand dollars to the rebuild cost, because, "it's a '32"

I don't have the tools to do the pre load/backlash, nor have I ever dissambled a banjo rear end. 'fraid I'd take it apart and forget how to put it back together correctly.
