Differential Gear Carrier Two Types
Ok, I've got to ask. Is there a difference in the performance/durability/etc in the two types of ring gear carrier for the A?
The best one I have for my rebuild is the early type. I'm curious as to why Henry changed mid-stream unless it was strictly for cost purposes. Can anybody here weigh in on this? Now would be the time to look for another part before the rebuild progresses to the point of fitting parts. Thanks all. |

Re: Differential Gear Carrier Two Types
As per Tom Endys article on rebuilding the differential, he states:
"There is an early version and a late version. Either can be interchanged as a complete assembly.".......Tom also mentions that the later type consists of two dissimilar carrier halves and the ring gear can only be installed on one of those sides and will not install on the other. The early carrier has identical halves and the ring gear can be installed on either of those halves. As to which is more robust,or why the design was changed, Mr Endy does not address that issue. In my opinion, I would rebuild the carrier you have if after careful examination it appears serviceable.

IIRC the difference is apparent in assembly of mis-matched halves too. Different shouldering of the halves. Joe K
