BCBirk Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Howdy, Just had a shiny Birkin S3 (built in 04') delivered, and I'm now totally addicted while my wife is now totally pissed --it's all about balance... I'm currently sorting a few issues including a small leak from an axle seal. Would anyone know what make / model that the 'standard' S3 solid axle would originate from? Cheers, -P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soareyes Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I've been told the Birkin rear axle is off a Toyota Hiluxe microvan available in S. Africa and Japan, but not in N. America. When my rear axle leaked, Woody Harris (former US Birkin importer) used a Napa seal to fix the leak. The Napa part number is 11585. It has not leaked since!

soareyes Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I should have mentioned that the Birkin Owners group on Yahoo has a tremendous amount of information dating back to 2000. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
