Default One tooth of Hen (not for sale:( )

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.

Default Designations

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?

Default Gear box fittings

The second pic in the previous shot shows the rear of the shaft it seems to be quite short?.the next pic shows the support bracket in place, and the last shot shows the fitting that came with this gear box, any ideas what box this is? it seems to be a correct box but the output shaft seems too short? any comments would be of help,
Regards, Ron,
