Wayne, I'm surprised you didn't check with the BJ8 Registry first. The BMIHT
certificates sometimes give the rear axle number, but there are apparently long
strings of cars in their records for which no rear axle number was recorded
and are therefore not on the certificate. And you are correct that some axle
housings apparently have no serial number (mine doesn't).
The BJ8 Registry now has data, records, and ownership history for almost
exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,853 of 17,712), including copies of
certificates for 935 chassis numbers (plus BMIHT data for several thousand more
for which no certificate is available). There are 1,247 rear axle numbers
identified to the chassis number currently in the registry. Rear axle numbers
for very early BJ8s were generally much higher than later ones and could vary
widely in sequence with the chassis number (e.g., chassis 25317 had rear axle
23564, chassis 25507 had rear axle 28736; but chassis 26898 had rear axle
505). Later cars seem to have a more reliable pattern to the numbers.
What are the serial numbers you are interested in?

Subject: [Healeys] Healey phase 2 rear end serial number range
I am trying to date a couple late BJ-8 rear end housings by their serial
numbers. Does anyone have that information from 1965 to 1967? I understand that
not all housings had serial numbers.
Thanks
Wayne
