HK1837 I thought I would start this here instead of totally taking over Chriss advert.
This is the steering box date code I was talking about.

and the normal things like the heads

valley

exhaust manifold

gearbox

Now after checking more tailshafts I am not so sure.
This one reads OK

but this one does not

these are a few others but they are not as clear to read.




So is this date coding or something else all together different on the tailshafts.
Sorry about all the pictures to anyone on dial up.
Cheers Paul.

Warren or Dr Terry might have a better idea why pre (about) 1973 parts have a mixture of date code formats. Like Paul shows above cast stuff has the North American style date coding, but some stuff like HK-HG steering box and column have the Aussie style

Parts production identification was the responsibilty of the supplier who had to be able to differentiate between model applications and when parts were made.Most made up their own style using a general format of an alphabet letter to identify either the

Thanks for the input guys.
HK1837 I have a HR steering box top cover and it is dated as you stated in the Aussie style but then the HQ box was the US way, it really did not make a lot of sense.
But after reading Tour Directors post that makes a lot mor

I knew carbies were different, so as per my post on the other side of the forum I thought it may have been a supplier based thing.

HK1837.
With the carbys at least the way they were coded seems to be fairly common knowledge but
things like the tailshafts being supplier based may prove to be real hard to get a accurate decode
on.
Thanks again Paul.
