No I don't, but if you have an old one, you could count how many revs it takes to turn the wheel in side. You would have to disassemble and make a mark, then count.
Otherwise I think maybe a Speedo reconditioner might have the facts your looking for. The drive unit at the wheel hub has some different ratio's, but what are they on what model and a interchange list would be nice. Anyone?
