[DeTomaso] GT5S REAR AXLE BEARING SIZES

[Colin Bradshaw]

Since I posted on the list, I believe to have found my own answers.

I have SKF6208 2RS C3 for the inner, and SKF6309 2RS C3 for the outer, (as against SKF6308 2RS C3 on earlier Pantera)

Also have a basic modification option to swap out the standard inner if the axle is damaged by fitting 5208 2RS C3 (which is a wider bearing) and reducing the length of the spacer tube by 12.2mm to compensate the wider bearing. Aside all this I know it has been written upon in the past to change the entire assembly to accept taper rollers with an appropriate re-machine exercise.

I would appreciate any comments in checking what I have discovered since as yet I still have the car useable and remain unsure if the bearings are the cause of my concern or something else yet to arise upon further investigation.

Many thanks all.
