According to the Ford-Windsor parts manual, - - - - - (Canadian carrier parts bible
) - - - - - the 7/8 x 14 BSPP for the spindles is not the only BSPP thread used on the carrier.
The other (that I am aware of) is where one would expect to see it, on the oil cooler.
If this BSP discussion turns out to correctly be BSP, will I get a free lunch to replace the wager I lost over my opinion on the production technique used for the long shaft of the starter crank?
Is the major centre portion of the starter crank handle hollow or solid? 9/15: (edit:main shaft, not crank handle)
I came in second.
