Started to rebuild the rearaxle and reductionboxes as the home made Alpine gearing was way too noicy.

So I will replace the complete housings etc. with an original smallnut reductionbox set instead.

Here you see very well how the 60's modification was made. Due to the smaller upper gear the lower axlestump and bearinghousing had to be moved up too...

Some updates from the past months..

I cut the snout for the axletubes to clear from the bug springplates and adapters.

Cool to see your brake solution. Looks like a spacer on the drums?

Are you worried about the slinger being inverted?

Planning to use 68&later backing plates on mine because I think the bearing retainer can go either way on them, but looks like I’ll probably have to do some clearancing to retainer and brake rod.

Rolled finally out. Still no engine and need some work and adjustments. But easier done outside than in the very tiny garage....

It has settled into a perfect stance. Like it was built that way from the factory.
