Rob's Rear Axle Assembly
Hi all
Sitting down with Pedr and the MB-F1 manual the other day we have come to the conclusion that Rob's assembly is Ford. Furthermore I am now of the opinion that this assembly was the one utilised on the Chevrolet half-track. In any event that is what I am going to incorporate into Phoenix. As for the flange, possibly it was changed to accommodate the flange on the Chevrolet drive shaft combined with the fact that a universal joint would not have been required given that everything at the rear would be rigid instead of being flexible due to the rear springs.
Again with Pedr's assistance, I have also been able to interpret a high resolution image and have determined the probable design of the sub-frame assembly holding the double and single track bogies.
