A+ gearbox final drive query

Post by cookie1071 »

anyone know what final drive is likely to be fitted to a DAM 4818 box? or are there likely to be loads of possibilities?

no 100% answer

id guess between a 3.6 and a 3.1

I think its too early to have seen a 2.7 or a 2.9

but too late to have seen any of the really low stuff like 4.1 etc
should you wish, you can contact me on rich@minispares.com

I've put at least two into bits, they were both 3.44 from 10" wheeled 998's, they have A+ layshaft, mainshaft and idler gear, the teeth profile and ratio is Pre A+ though.
Not sure if they were also fitted to early metros with 3.65 final drive.

Cheers

All the DAM4818 we had here were fitted with 4.2's only.
