I will be restoring for sale either a Ruckstell or Perfecto over the winter. I anticipate using a 13-14 RE housing and cast end radius rods, although I am flexible. The restoration will be top shelf using the best parts I have and I have a lot of parts for either. I'll probably use new axles and drive shafts. Item will be priced accordingly and fully guaranteed.
Is there any interest for either one out there?
Ruckstell or Perfecto

Re: Ruckstell or Perfecto
Why did you put a Perfecto in your 26? Seems like a lot of effort to me?

Re: Ruckstell or Perfecto
Hi Larry. Yes installing a 26-27 backing plate on a Perfecto rear end housing was more difficult than I imagined, but I had a completely restored Perfecto ready to install so I opted for the Perfecto.
The Perfecto I purchased from NvBob recently is really a nice low mileage unit, so I'll probably proceed with that. They are both fun and challenging to restore.
