1850 Auto' Axle Numbers

#1 Post by xvivalve »

Are 1850 auto axle numbers prefixed WF the same as manuals, or were they identified with another prefix? If so, what was it?

The official dolomite range 1976parts catalogue states an auto is marked with WG1. It has a different ration 3.27:1 to the manual which is 3.61:1.

Thanks Richard, ratio differences are why I was asking.

I have a Dolomite shaped axle here with prefix CC or CG. Any idea what that is off?

Yes, on the wide rib of the diff case on the underside.
