Rearend Housing Paper label
« on: March 21, 2016, 12:48:05 PM »
years back some one was reproducing the paper tag that usually wrapped around the left side axle tube. Remember I bought one for a 69 Mach. Are these still made and where are they available?

I know they have the aluminum tags but I'm referring to the paper tag, they have that also?

Ed have you ever compared to see if the color relates to the gearing?

Sorry. You are right the Marti Auto tag is the metal tag and not the paper wrap decal. I did get my paper tag from Jack at Dead Nuts On. Jack is a great guy and easy to work with.

Brown toast seems consistent.  No wait that is what they typically turn to from white. ;D

whats paper color got to do with the size of gears as the code told you what gears were inside.   We had a 2000 mi. late 70 b2 in shop years ago  & the tag was completely around housing yet in excellent shape & paper tag was green.

Like colored paint marks - there is a possibility that the worker could use it to quickly identify the correct rearend for a specific car coming down the line.
