MET Gas

[ron]

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?

Just a couple of pics that show the box that I have the first pic shows the standard fitting on a carrier box,

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,

Morning Bob,
As always you come up trumps, now the next question is, do you have or know where I can get the driven arms that I need to complete this carrier?
Many thanks for your reply . Regards, Ron
