Rear Axles 400 Series
DORIEN
I am hoping that along with this post you will be able to see the steps that are present adjacent to the ENV axle main caps. I just hope the attachment works. It does not surprise me that you found the axles fully fettled on the Alfa etc, but the ENV was an industrial type unit offered out to specialist car builders, or as an option for their normal fitting. The need to keep costs at a minimum meant that fully finishing a unit that could not be seen would be out of the question. Regards Norman

Rear Axles 400 Series
Norman,
Thanks for the links. Yes,.... they clearly show the steps we talked about. I had posted pictures of mine a week or so ago, and some of us thought that the steps were due to mismatched castings and although bored/machined to size, nevertheless a bit of a bodge. You have helped us to better understand the way ENV produced their units. Thanks again Dorien
