That being said I know someone over here on the mainland that may be able to help you with the parts you're looking for, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,112 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,112 | Those parts are really hard to find because they are not reproduced. If you get them, keep them some place safe! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 | I installed Patricks ring and pinion in a Canadian rear end which did require minor modification. The ring gear bolt circle on a Canadian carrier is 6.188" and the bolt circle on U.S. carriers (and Patricks ring gear)is 6.062". Elongating the holes (on your Canadian carrier) 1/16" towards center will make it fit which I did with a 3/8" endmill. The washer spotface is large enough that it requires no modification. Here's some pictures. I remember that my spiders had a brass/bronze? washer behind them that I saw no mention of in U.S. literature so I suspect these are unique to Canadian rears. Good luck.

I have a set of NOS gears and they measure out the same without the washers as my originals with the washers. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,440 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,440 | Maybe all CDN rears used them then. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 12 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 12 | Thanks for the responses, this site is great !!!!!! | | |
