Default Wheel bearing race diameter

Can someone tell me the diameter of the wheel bearing race on the rear end bells. I have looked thru all of my books and cannot find it. The only diameter I can find is the roller bearing itself in the vendor books. It is for a 33 tudor. I understand the to dimension is probably the same beginning with the model A.

Thanks for your help.

Default Re: Wheel bearing race diameter

Here's what I have in my files:
1. Factory drawings for late 32 - 34 show the OD as 2.061" (min), 2.0635" (max).
2. Another person said: 2.0625" diameter nominal
