Default Carrier G/Box

Talking about the Local Pattern Ford G/ Box, the only real difference is the rear mount that bolts to the back of this. This is a specific part for the Carrier as the height from the underside to the center of the output shaft is something like 135 mm , ( or could be 145 mm would have to check ) and is critical. I have plenty of spare ones if you need one. You can also find a few differences of the appearances of casting features on the top lids, for handbrake truck mounts etc. , and whether the box was of English manufacture and not Canadian / USA.
The coupling used was only two types, for LP, the later "upgraded " version was the 8 - point one, Cheers Andrew.
