Me again more scrounging,
Does any one have for sale a pair of driven arms that conect the gear box to the duplex coupling and the coupling to the diff,
Thanks in advance,
Regards, Ron

Here is a pic of the arms that I require to enable me to fit the engine and gear box to my latest carrier, If you have a pair of these that you have no need for please let me know,
Thanks in advance, Regards, Ron

Is the gearbox flange the same piece as the splined pinion flange for the 2A? I see your parts diagram shows the tapered keyway version for the LP2, and splined version for the LP2A.

Hello Tony.
And thanks for your reply, The part that fits on to the gear box is spined. but I need a part with a key way to conect to the diff. this Met gas carrier is a 2,
Regards, Ron

Correct me if I am wrong, but the designation "LP2" refers to the carrier as fitted with a 1938 Ford axle, which has a splined pinion.
Designation "LP2A" refers to a carrier fitted with a 1940 Ford axle, which has a pinion finished with a taper and keyway.
My understanding is that these differences are the PRIMARY reason for the two designations.
It then follows that the two axles have mounting variations, and that other changes were tied in with the axle update(for example, shifting the tools from the side to the rear)
Have I got it right?
