Default Re: Difference with two banjo rear spider gear housing/ring gear bolts

Yes, the earlier style used the castle nuts and safety wire, post war they went to the self locking nuts and eliminated the holes in the bolts for the wire. Like you, I prefer the earlier version, but instead of lock wire I just use split cotter pins.
