    Front Diff Serial No

    Hi All,
    I was sanding back (in preparation for cleaning/painting) my front diff. (Restoring my 1961 - Series 2 - Petrol)
    I discovered the Serial Number on the front of the diff.
    If you look closely it appears that some of the numbers have been over written - at a guess I would say that it was a mistake corrected at the factory?
    What do you think? Is this normal or common? Unusual?

    Regards,
    The Grey Ghost!

    Very unusual, but given that an 1961 88" SI1 number has been overstamped with a 1961 109" SII makes the odds more likely that it is a factory correction.

    I have a pair of 569204 rims that have been overstamped from 569203 centres, in fact one rim is overstamped then stamped a second time with the 569204.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Looking at the font used I would say the underneath original Number was done at Solihul because other ones I have are in the same font.

    The Overstamp is in a completely different font with thin and thick and was probably done at the assembly plant in Australia

    Thats my 2 cents worth

    Cheers Richard
