Have just changed the oil in the differential of my '38 Ruby. Using 7/8 pint (0.5 litre) brought the oil up to the level of the filler hole. Bearing in mind posts on this site advising against filling up to the filler level because of the risk of oil reaching the brakes, I started to suck some oil out. But stopped when I realised that to get the oil level below the level of the axle tubes, I would have to take out about half of what I had put in.
Surely Austin did not get the oil quantities so wrong. It seems to me that Austin must have planned to have the oil go through axle tubes.
