I am thinking that the County rear end is about the same width as the SIIB ENV and have recently acquired one, which convieniently has the same brakes as the SIIB. Using the track width of the County and comparing it with the specs of the SIIB will not help as both models have different width rims with different offsets and they may be the reason for the differences in the specified tracks. Will measure it up in the next couple of weeks.
My plans are to remove the County 3.54:1 crownwheel, pinion and hemisphere and replace with a 4.7:1 crownwheel and pinion from a SIII 109 and build them up with most probably a detroit locker hemisphere into the County housing and Hi-Tough halfshafts. In the meantime, the plan is to fabricate spring mountings for the SIIB onto the county housing. Don't think that I want to go to coil sprung SIIB ATM.
What is slowing me up is all the other things I have on my plate with Winter Rally, Eastern Creek Classic and All British Day this month.
