right i managed to get a friend to go and check ,to see if he could read the ,tag, on the axle.
turns out the ,tag, is good and clearly readable the following is what we now know.
ROCKWELL
TBBO 0005A
model F106 NXI
ser no, 058315
ratio 6.2:1
so the question now is where / what has this axle come from and how old is it.
i,v got some old books etc but nothing with this in..
also got the VIN no ,20RWH2292
thanks for all the help so far ..
