To add a little more information to my previous post:
The propshafts that I believe are BP73 & BP93 are not just random spare parts.
The BP73 comes from chassis 642nn a mid 1928 and was still connected to a rear axle of mid-1928.
I have only owned it for a few years and know little of it's history.
The BP93 comes from my 1931 RM saloon which I have owned for 53 years, it came with the original engine and rear axle. Chassis 1379nn mid-1931. Cannot prove it is the original but the car was remarkably unaltered when I bought it.
The two propshafts are the same length but not identical in manufacture, slight differences. I need to thoroughly clean both and try to specify the minor differences. Does anyone know if they have part numbers on, if so where?
I will also try in due course to measure from the back of the gearbox to the carden block on each chassis, my guess is they will be the same, unless the mounting holes are different on each chassis.
Does anyone else have any thoughts? Ian Williams has an orginal RM in NZ any info?
