Diffs a'hoy

[Surfection]

Well we got a shitload done this weekend, spazbot and gruntless helped me all day saturday, ground all mounts off the diff, cut spring mounts off and rotated the diff for better pinion angle, welded them and new trailing arm mounts back on, just a tip, if you hand your welder over to travis, don't expect to get it back, but you'll be damn glad you did. Awesome stuff !!! And today i was a lazy prick, all i did was weld a bit of plate over the breather hole [it's in the way] and cut the new A frame mount, positioned it over the diff but haven't started welding yet. I need some more flatbar etc so it can all be done in one day. Thanks james and travis for all the help, champion effort.

Very...Very cool dude

Can't wait to see it in action
:wink:

[bj on roids]

lookin awesome dude, so the diff is back under the rig?

also remember if your pinion angle is going to be different to the factory angle, you may need a cardan shaft to stop the vibes (street driven that is)

nice welds!

[Wendle]

I think I remember him saying the links are all gonna use heims?? So the pinion angle will be adjustable anyways....

lookin good, can't wait to see it done

[Surfection]

Yeah the diff is back under Bj, had enough of the car swaying around on our booty fab jack stands.
I was gonna go for heims as carlton says but changed my mind at the last minute. The lower arms will have Snake Racing's new joints at both ends, the A frame will be bushed at the chassis end.
The tailshaft needs lengthening anywayz so i think a double carden is definatly on the cards. Rotating the diff has taken alot of stress off the uni's though by the looks of it. I had some chronic vibrations before.
Travis is coming up to help me again this weekend so we'll see how close we get to broom broom !!

were are you fitting your fuel tank?

[Surfection]

It's going up in between the chassis rails at the back nick, we've cut the rear most crossmember out, just needs a bit more grinding to finish off.
It'll hang down a bit as i don't have a body lift but i've got clearence to spare so it doesn't worry me too much.

i looked at fitting a fuel cell in the same place but think that mine is a little too short and dont like the idea that it could become an anchor.

Surfection ill bring th 9" and the small grinder around again on the weekend and finish what i started.

It seems alot easier to take a 9" grinder to a truck when the truck dont belong to you :-)

[Surfection]

Sounds like a plan matey
