[Tigers] Salisbury Cosmetics

Hmm, that's interesting. While my OEM rear ends are redish in color, they
are certainly not externally covered in glyptal. That stuff dries like
Teflon and is very slick. Mine is more of a red primer paint. Haven't looked
inside but I have a spare that I can remove the cover from and look. I do
use glyptal on my engines in oily areas to help shed the oil back to a sump
or low point. Even the underside of the intake manifold, the valley area,
main bearing area and timing chain areas. Works great. Never heard of it
being used in our Sunbeams since it is usually reserved for really high
performance and our Tigers were never really high performance.  And a stock
DANA certainly wouldn't need that treatment.  Race car? Maybe.

	TBON states - "Rear axle had the center section Glyptol dipped to
aid oil flow."  To me that mean the center section has Glyptol inside and
out.

	TBON further states - "The rear cover, axle tubes and backing plates
were painted black."

I think you will have to contact - Norm or someone in the restoration
business for more details and color pictures like Dale's Restoration, Paul
Reisentz or Doug Jennings.

I'm rebuilding the rear end and have been searching for pictures and specs
for how it was finished coming from the factory. I have seen some references
to the  "pumpkin" being coated with Glyptal 1201 red and then painted over
but others show no such thing. Also what was used as the over-coat?

Pictures and references would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Bugz
