Anti Jam, Many thanks for the copy of Sherrells advice , It confirms what I thought. I also agree it was a pity that the factory only told the dealers, as this problem had been ongoing from the early 1920s, the axle ends are dimensionaly the same. only difference is the TC has a separate bearing car...
