Roots parts in Holland has them. NewMy rear end went out. I need the following hard to find parts. In Sunbeam Specialties catalog (p10) they are shown in the exploded diagram as #3 Wheel & Pinion Set. Do any of you fellows have them in good condition?
Thanks Gordon for the info. I will contact them.Roots parts in Holland has them. New
I happened to see that on their site the other day. They can be slow to respond 5-7 days but they have some good stuff. I got a new cam from them pretty reasonable!Thanks Gordon for the info. I will contact them.
Yes, Dan, It has wire wheels. I don't have a shop anymore so the work is being done by a local classic car shop. Therefore, I don't (at the moment) have specs on the axle assembly but from the speedo/tac info at speeds of 50 to 70mph, I think I have a 4:22 pumpkin.What rear axle assy and type hubs/wheels are you running? Reason for asking is there a possibility of converting your rear if a Early series to a later series like a SIV ?
I'm seeing wires in your picture.

Suggest a SV complete rear assy. Parts are a bit more available in my opinion.OK, fellows, here is the situation after a week of trying to fix my rear end problem: When I purchased my SII six years ago, it needed a rear end. Not being familiar with the car I purchased a complete rear end, pumpkin w/axle for wire wheels. As it turns out, the unit was from a Series I car as the axles have 17 splines. Rear ends from later cars have 25 splines and I haven’t been able to find the gears for the earlier 17 spline axles. I have checked with Sunbeam Spares in the UK and Roots Post Vintage Spares in Holland and both gear sets are for 25 spline axles. I need either the rear end for 17 spline axles or a complete rear end, pumpkin, axles, etc., for wire wheels. Any suggestions?
Yes, that is what I need and am looking for one. eBay is selling one but it is for steel wheels not wire wheels. Do you have a source?Suggest a SV complete rear assy. Parts are a bit more available in my opinion.
It is a stronger rear.
Yes, the s3 onwards will have telescopic mounts on the axle but you would need to fabricate some on the body. You can use the kit available on the saoca.. But... You will probably have to sort your own shocks as the length will be shorter than the s3-v shock and likely some difference from the full kit as they mount off the spring plate iirc .. And yours will hang lower off the rear axleIf you switch to a complete unit from a Series V, I'm pretty sure you'll have to fabricate mounts for the telescopic shocks.
No, 17 and 25 spline only for factory axle configurations.Is there a third spline count configuration? A friend dropped that into a conversation lately, and I need confirmation and specifics.
