So the stub shafts and axles were fabricated by engineering, but the two-speed
planetary case looks like a commercial unit unless they cast up a special case.
What about the ring and pinion ? Was that custom ? You'd think if they went and beefed up the axles and stubs they would have done something similar with the R&P unless there were space constraints within the differential case. Was a stock differential case used or is that a "one of" too ? Was the torque tube and shaft modified in any way ? Did it connect directly to the crankshaft or did they use a clutch assembly up front too ? Sorry if this is too many questions...like I said, it's just a fascinating piece of engineering
