WTB: Torque Tube
I need a torque tube for my 26 coupe. Mine has been broken, welded back together and broken again. Still need to tear down the rear end and see what else I need.

Re: WTB: Torque Tube
Still looking for 26 torque tube. Hank only has the earlier style. I prefer the later style since that is correct for the year.

What’s the difference. Can you post comparison pictures?

Re: WTB: Torque Tube
The time frame for the "stepped" torque tube has been debated for some time - it has definite steps in O.D. from approx. midway forward towards the ball.

Here are a couple pictures of the one in my 26 roadster. Right about where that rubber block is, it starts tapering down to a smaller diameter.

A 1926/27 torque tube has multiple steps from the back coming forward. Everything else is the same.

Re: WTB: Torque Tube
I removed the torque tube from my '26 yesterday. It has a tapered tube like yours, Scott. However, the rear flange on mine is different. Mine is thicker than on a stepped torque tube that I have. The flange also has machined pockets where the bolt heads sit. I don't know if mine is correct for a '26, just different. I'll get a photo of it tonight.

Re: WTB: Torque Tube
Here is a picture showing both torque tubes. I though mine was the later. Turns out it is the earlier. I thought the early one was straight. Both my 26 coupe and 26 roadster have the early style tube. So, Hank does have what I want!!
