Brent:

I have been told that Snyder and Bratton often pool their orders to a manufacturer in order to make a quantity purchase for a better price break.

Walt Bratton once told me that the ring & pinion they each sell come from the same manufacturer and have the proper machining of the pinion sleeve that many other reproductions do not have. Those that I have encountered that are not machined propery I have to have the forward bearing position machined to facilitate setting the pre-load properly.

I did not do any elaborite testing of the axles I installed for John Lavoy. I visually inspected them and then installed them in a carrier assembly and rotated the axles in opposite directions to make sure everything turned freely with no binding. I do this with all I put together.
