The rear axle units from the early vehicles are narrower than those in
the Series VI (and Gazelles)

Series VI on left - note the concave hub center |
Early axle housing - lip is approx. 22mm |
Series VI axle housing - lip is approx. 25mm. The bearing also has an integral oil seal. |
2. Swapping your manual gearbox with an overdrive gearbox
The overdrive gearbox for an 'Audax' car is 5.85cm longer
than the standard gearbox.

Audax Car Standard Gearbox |
The overdrive gearbox for an 'Arrow' car is the same length
as the standard gearbox.
Two piece prop shafts can be swapped for a single piece prop shaft.
An overdrive unit cannot simply be 'bolted onto' a manual gearbox,
as the overdrive gearbox requires a longer drive-shaft.
3. Audax Car Stub Axles
(with thanks to A. Wilson)
The stub axle units from the early vehicles are lower than those in
the Series VI (and Gazelles)
