Bristol 400 rear axle gears

Dorien,
By your description it sounds like you could have a 401 -404 type diff
fitted .
Is the pinion held in a separate housing that bolts onto the main
casting that supports the crown wheel carrier. The mesh of the CW & Pinion
is by shims between these housings.

Also check that the crown wheel carrier is not broken where the side
bearings are located.
Regards
Geoff
