AR axle

I have a NOS rear axle.

I notice the outside thread and nut are bigger than what is on the car.

I presume this is a later axle.

When did the thread increase in size and is this the only difference?
 
Pooch,

I suspect the axel you have is not A; to my knowledge the thread size and special axel nut has been the same form start of production to end ?

If someone has contrary information please correct me !!

Pooch, they are all the same, have an AR rear here & its the same as later, Perhaps one you have has had thread stripped & been rethreaded, Derek from a hot dry NZ
 
The axle nuts are the same. So called AR axles did not have separate E brake lings, also the weld seem on the axle tubes was in different place.
 
Many thanks all.

It seems the axle still in car is 9/16ths, so must have been re-done when stripped.

The 83 year old puzzle has another piece to add.
