I wanna rebuild one into a s/c box sometime for my build.

Found it on the search,

The DAM5626 casing was made specifically without the fourth hole because that's where the earlier casings cracked - though that bolt hole.

That is what the last owner was going to do with them before I got them. Also they have all been washed out in a steam cleaner.

Looks like a good deal if you've got space for them all. You should have enough pot joints for a few years now. Shame there don't seem to be any 22G1128 boxes or Hardy Spicer output shafts there as I would have been making you an offer.

Not to be negative but you'll find at least one of those cases scrap due to porosity, and at least one other scrap because you can't match it with a diff housing. Also check the blocks for liners *oh well*

Ask me how I know........................

Other than that, good haul, 1275 blocks for £25 each. I can't remember when I last bought one for that little.
