I think the best thing I can do is post a picture of them.
For we all know a picture speaks louder than words ,and it would be intreresting to find out about them.
Many Thanks once again for all your comments/observations.

Ref auto hubs.
If you ever use your motor off road, bin them, they're dangerous. As they only cut in if the back wheels want to go faster than the front (eg they are spinning) they will not lock when using engine braking to descend a steep hill, so you will only be in 2 wheel drive and not have full control.
An added problem, as the front diff, prop etc aren't turning you can't select 4wd on the move.

I think you may be confusing FWH's with limited slip coupling (See Newtonian fluids) as found on more modern Lanadys like the Gaylander (I think).
generally the FWH's on series landys are mechanical and are manually selectable.

No. I'm talking about automatic free wheeling hubs as were fitted to my Ser II. Series motors do not have limited slip couplings, so I would hardly be talking about them on this forum.
As far as I know there was only the one type of auto hub, made by Fairy, but I'll stand corrected if anyone knows otherwise (Its over 20 years since I threw them away).
They are cylinders the same diameter as the drive member, and about 3 inches deep. They work very like a bicycle free wheel, which is why they don't work with engine braking (or going backwards!)
If you do get shot of them, not only will you need drive members and shorter bolts, but you will have to replace the big lock washer that secures the bearing. The one with the auto hubs has a flange on it that will foul the drive member and prevent it tightening up.
