Rear axles

Post by MARINAMAN480 » Sat Dec 13, 2014 7:38 am

Quick question what other cars share the same rear axle as the marina/ital
The ones that spring to mind are
Dolomite
TR7 4speed
Some Caterham 7's

Reason i ask is that a friend of mine writes for classic monthly and we have done an tech peice on changing rear wheel bearings so need to get article correct

Hi Lee,

Possibly spitfire/herald/vitesse/GT6 as well, check out the wheel bearing kit number for say Dolomite on RimmerBros and it will show you all its uses at the bottom of the page.

I look forward to seeing the article, which edition will it be in? Does my hub puller get a mention?

Lee,

Don't forget to mention that there are two sizes of rear axle oil seals (early/late), if its appropriate.
