A quick check and the diff does need an adaption. As seen in a previous post, the diff has to be adapted to make it fit into the new chassis. The main thing is the "wings" with which it helped mount under the car need to come off, easy job really, a quick trip to Screwfix for a 9" angle grinder and some cutting discs and jobs a good'un, Made quick work of it and not bad for my first ever experience of doing anything like this. In the dark with a torch round the back of the house using my foot to steady the object....what could possibly go wrong?! Well, I'm still walking on both legs and there aren't any chunks missing from the surrounding area so all good.
Anyway, here is the finished product:
How does the diff mount to the chassis without the 'wing' mounting bars?
ReplyDeleteHi Richard,
ReplyDeleteSorry for taking so long to reply, I didn't realise you had commented.
The wings are cut off and then 3, 10mm holes are drilled into the top of the bar, matching the pre-drilled holes in the chassis. The chassis has a top mounting bar and side mounting bolts to help secure and align the diff.
