Fat Brian Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Pretty much the title, I'm looking for a Columbia 2 speed rear end for a project. Kit or resin doesn't matter.

Paul Payne Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Also, the Revell 41 Ford stock woody kit has one-NOT the pro modeler version.
Paul Payne Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Casey, the Revell 1940 Ford and 1941 Stock woody kits have Columbia two speed rear ends.
misterNNL Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 I have built my own using a standard vintage axle. I add a sleeve of styrene tubing for the larger gear changing section and a small vintage starter to that. If course some massaging of those pieces is necessary to achieve the proper look but it's a quick solution that doesn't require buying another kit.

I was going to do that but all of the banjo rear ends I have are open on the top so I didn't want to put even more work into it. Fortunately I was able to find a kit breaker selling just the chassis from the 40 so I didn't have to buy an entire kit.

I filled that open space in the tops of the axles I converted with half round Evergreen strip stock.
