Yes I have two of them since you're close it'd be much easier to make an informed decision rather than depending upon a picture. We've dealt before in my driveway.

Thanks Jim. Wasn't too bad except working in the sun in the driveway in 90 degree heat to make sure it stretched out and fit nice and tight.

Dude you're barking up the wrong tree although there's several Tiger guys on this forum the only place you're really going to find one is by a junked car, Or someone who is put in a Ford 9-in with a locker and four-link suspension. They don't come up often but they're easily 1500 bucks or more. Now if you want to know what other cars had the same thing that rear end on it I can't remember all of the Jeep rear ends and other cars that had Dana 44s.
But then you probably have to play mix and match with the axels etc.

Alpine and Tiger rear axles are about 50-3/4" flange-to-flange (NOT including brake drums).

"flange to flange", is that the flat part of the "axle" that the lugs go through ? OR backing plate to backing plate ? I'd like to just find something that I can put a posi unit in, weld leaf spring "perches" to, and be done. :) Thanks

Yes, the flanges are the parts of the axles that the lugs go through and, more importantly, are where the wheels attach to the axle.

I am not aware of any rear axle assembly that is readily available and inexpensive and fits a Series Alpine and accepts a readily available "posi unit" and has a 4x4.25" lug pattern.

I know where there are several old Postal Jeeps are located that have rear axle assemblies. They have a plate on the rear to access the ring & pinion.

They are stronger than the Tiger axles. One piece flanged axle with 30 splines. Usually 3.07 or 3.73. Usually Trac-Lok posi. They can be changed to 3.31 and 3.54 also. MG guys drill to the 4 lug pattern. Center of axle flange needs turned down also.
