Subject: Re: Removing An M45 Rear Backing Plate
As no-one else has replied; yes, Lagondas built their own rear axles at this time, so the cw&p would have been made "in house". That same rear axle carried on right through to the LG6, being beefed up as the cars got heavier and heavier.
The V12 used a Salisbury hypoid rear axle, with much fanfare that this allowed the bodywork to sit lower...only for the LG6 to use the identical chassis (but longer as the Meadows 6 cylinder was longer than the V12 engine), but retaining the old Lagonda rear axle. Work that one out.
