Title: Rear Axle Identification
Post by: PeterPortugal on June 16, 2018, 07:25:06

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out what sort of rear axle my car has fitted. It is a 1963 W111 220se cabrio and according to the datacard the rear axle number was 06965/4/10.

The axle on the car is marked S4/10 and the serial number is 067033. Does anybody have a resource which can identify which type of car this axle came off?

Regards

Peter

Thanks WRe.....I would like to know when the first series (4.1) changed to the 2nd series (4.08).

The 4.1 (10:41) version looks quite rare and never fitted to a 230SL Pagoda.

The 4.10 axle is commonly used on many fin cars. This is very low gearing and it will help you to pull stumps out of the ground.  ;D

 230SL  used 3.75 which I believe is the most common and 4.08 which is less common.

I have a early 230sl, No. 312, with 4.08. original per the data card.

Thanks guys,
I am happy it is the right ratio for the car. I was just concerned that because it was a much later serial number that it may have been different to original. I was hoping to get some sort of approx age for the replacement axle too.
