What's that rear out of?

Giveaway is the drain plug in bottom of rear casing. 1957 is only year that came with drain plug OEM. Of course a drain plug could be added. 1957 rearends were built stronger than the 56 & 55 rears. They also had a one year only wheel bearing.

Note for the beginner, don't use silicone sealer on carburetor gaskets.

 

[Don Jacks]

Never use anything on carb gaskets.If you put the pieces together with the gaskets dry and it leaks,look for and correct the warpage that's causing the leak.

 

[La Hot Rods]

Some people just don't get it.

 

[Phil Reed]

So today I worked on the Jaguar E type rear suspension, I disassembled back in February and the customer took all the parts to have them cleaned and painted. Well they lost the box full of all the fixing and brackets for the brake calipers. They clamed they never had them, funny how that works. Now after many calls and pictures of expsloeded views of the missing parts I may have enough to get this completed.


I did all the detail work on the calipers, they did all the black paint work.
