Re: 1932 torque tube length
All that's needed now is the same dimension for the late '32 torque tube with the scalloped rear flange (given that the above is for the early torque tube).

THIS thread has pretty-well and difinitively established the three BASIC lengths for the available torque tubes used on '32-'34 Ford automobiles of both flavors......V8 and 4-cyl. It should also be clear, and easily understood by anyone mechanically-inclined enough to understand how the TT bolts into these vehicles, that a variance in length of 1/16" to even 1/8" between different examples, will obviously still fit and function as originally designed by Ford folks. This has been a great thread, with some great input from several folks. DD Last edited by V8COOPMAN; 01-06-2016 at 08:42 PM. |

Re: 1932 torque tube length
I mistakenly called my torque tube "late" because the car has a late serial number. Seems it must have hung around for a while in a crate in Dagenham!

Re: 1932 torque tube length
I get .456" longer for the 40 housing.
I have the length figured out for the new shorter 32 torque tube. It would be 52.92" The difference in length of a 34 torque tube and a driveshaft is 1.68" If the same coupling dimensions are assumed, the new 32 driveshaft would be 51.24" The dimension I would like to get is the distance from a 34 flange face to the pin hole in the pinion shaft. That would tell me if driveshaft dimension can be used or would need to be adjusted to get the hole in the right place. Nice puzzle! |

Re: 1932 torque tube length
I made my driveshaft but I knew it was not right. I went yesterday and measured three rear ends to find the clearance between the speedo gear and the snap ring. The numbers were about 1/8" but I don't know if any debris was in the way. The number that was pretty consistant was from the bell lip to the back of the snap ring groove. I make it 2.44"
Corrections appreciated! |
