1928 16-6 rear axle - half shafts & hubs.
Posted: Fri Mar 11, 2022 12:45 pm
The LH rear hub has been working loose on the half shaft taper & has damaged the shaft & hub keyways & Woodruff key.
The hubs are fitted on the shafts with slotted conical sleeves on the tapers (both sides).The LH sleeve has been destroyed by movement on the taper.
Are these sleeves standard fitment?
The LH shaft also has a bronze bush fitted on it next to the end gear, retained by a steel peg in the shaft. This bush (& shaft) run inside the flanged bronze bush in the LH half differential cage. Again, is this standard?
Perhaps the sleeves & bush are production salvage of wrongly dimensioned parts? Ideas please?
Where can I get a replacement half shaft (LH 707mm long), a wheel hub & a conical sleeve?
