Hi Kurt...No I have not but will look at the code stamped on the axle this weekend. The "BR" code is listed on the protecto plate. I'll let you know the results after I investigate. Thanks.

How do you determine if the transmission is wide ratio or close ratio? The info on the POP and build date stamped on the transmission is P9B17. Again, thanks for your help.

Decoding/Numbers / BR Axle Code On A Z28

« on: January 04, 2007, 06:19:39 PM »

I have the protecto plate for my '69 Z28 but am puzzled about the "BR" axle code it shows. The axle code on the protecto plate is BR0218G and the car has an 02D production date on the trim tag. I was under the impression a "BU" code (3.73 axle ratio) was standard on a Z28. I have been able to contact the original owner of the car and she said the car was purchased new in 1969 from their local Chevy dealer but was not special ordered. What axle ratio is coded "BR" and why would one be installed on a non special ordered car? Thanks for your comments.
