RA5 Differential and Leaf Springs
I have been struggling to source a few parts for our 59 A110, and was hoping you guys might have some insight on potential vendors. I need to replace the ring and pinion set on what I believe is an RA5 rear differential (based on the info from the line setting sheet). I have been on Google for the last few days searching everywhere, and have yet to find any solid info. I don't see anything that looks like a part number on the ring gear either, so I am pretty lost. Searching the number stamped on the third member doesn't yield any Google search results either... It does have 3.73 etched into it, so at least I know the ratio....
I am also struggling to find leaf springs. The ones removed seem to be two different springs (pic attached) I'm not sure which one is correct. I contacted a local spring shop and he gave me part number of 55-643 as a replacement, but said he can't get them. I've searched the internet for this number and have found very little as well.
If anyone has insight on sources that may sell this stuff I'd appreciate it. I have been searching like crazy and am making little progress.
Thanks!
