axle weights

[DANMAS@aol.com]

FWIW:

A rear axle assembly from an MGB, complete with standard differential, brakes 
and brake drums, but no wheels, weighs 165 pounds. A Ford 9" axle, shortened 
to fit the MGB, with limited slip differential, 11" brakes and brake drums, 
but no wheels, weighs 241 pounds. I weighed them today, just to see.

Inquiring minds want to know.
