HoggyN Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I have a series front axle that I believed to be off a lightweight but it seems that might not be. It has the lightweight shafts and a reinforced case but the number is wrong. Apparently, the number should start with 236 or 951, not 201. Can anybody shed any light on what L/R an axle starting with 201 would have been fitted to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The photo doesn’t show much, but the hubs appear from that angle to be pre-rationalised Lightweight hubs and flanges. Leather gaiters were optional equipment, but the MoD had them on most of their Series vehicles. I looks likely that this is a genuine Lightweight axle.

HoggyN Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Thanks. I’ve had some help from the Facebook Lightweight group and 201 is actually a valid prefix for a Lightweight, but with a suffix “A”. This has a suffix “B” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Those are definitely Lightweight hubs. The centre tube could be original or may have been swapped - the parts all fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
