Bren .... are they hard to get? if you like i could check out how much to get it over the ditch. It will only end up as a door stop or in the scrap bin.... we are getting $200 a tonne for steel.

MOS

And So It begins.......   I thought I had scored, Two Salsbury LSD diffs for the price of one, one buggered one not.  All good so far. Turns out the buggered one with a couple of teeth chipped on the pinion is a 3.55 and that was the ratio i wanted. So i opened up the other one and ye gods its a 4.44  Ah well at least i have all the bits to GCW a wide one. So if any one in NZ wants a 4.44 Salsbury LSD head I have one to trade for a 3.55 unless you have a 3.08.

Tune in next week for the next exciting episode  of CGW.... MWA HAHAHAHA

 

Thanks Ben and Craig, for the advice.   I have two(2) swb beddies one in better nick than the other body wise.  By the sound (text) of things its a good thing I cant afford much more than a VN or VP.
On the plus side I am a fitter welder by trade and have access to a large lathe. So i am quite keen to have a crack at widening a diff.  I figure if I get two the same and cut them right I can assemble and CGW  (Cut Grind Weld) up a wide one . Sounds a little simplistic I know but I think it would be quite straight forward. Any thoughts as to exactly which diff to mangle?

Btw Craig ever heard of a "Monday Hammer"?  No!  Its a 28lb hammer used for tipping when rolling steel plate and its  called a monday hammer because you need two days rest before you can use It
