Ok 1st up weight wasn't and issue with this one :lol:

It is a custom fabricated centre section for use with a Nissan H260 diff centre, which is huge, has an approximately 10.75" ring gear.

It is made from 6mm plate, which is the same as diamond axle's in the USA housings.

The tubes are going to be 90mm OD x 6.3mm wall

Full floating use custom made splindles, hubs, drive flanges etc.

Axles are 40 spline same as a 40 spline Ford 9" or Dana 60

Custom made spool for centre to accept the 40 spline axles.

BLING :cool:

You got any internal pics. I would love to see what sort of support the tubes get or do they just attach to the housing? You guys doing the spindles and hubs from the ground up (machining billets down or what?) or have you got a kit from somewhere?

Looks very bling and ultra :cool:

I've just always wondered what sort of bracing is inside but fair enough you've gotta keep your trade secrets. Do you use cnc machines for the hubs and stuff or do you do it all manually. Do you get it all drawn up first or just get basic measurments and build as you go? No need to answer the questions if they're secrets, I'm just interested in this type of fabrication and work, thats all :D

I am a draftsman, so the entire diff housing has been drawn in 3D, then I produce the drawings from the 3D model, then manufacture.

I hope the area that the third member bolts to is a lot thicker than 6mm or your going to have no end of trouble.

If you are going to all that trouble why not use a ford 9" center ? Gotta be better than the nissan and more ratio's available.

Are the carrier bearing caps supported as per the original housings :?: Ive seen housings made up and no concideration given to this and the diffs fail from the cap on the crownwheel side spreading losing bearing preload increasing gear clearance/backlash and the gears fail. :? :?
Looks real bling thou :P I came to the conclusion after working on heavy Earthmoving equipment and when changing diffs having to shim/adjust an adjuster on the crown wheel side carrier cap, and seeing the fretting marks on the removed diff proving how much the cap moves around and flexes. When building diffs having observed how the caps are machined to a diameter the matchs the bore on the back inside of the housings and why the diff needs to be held square when fitting so both diameters line up before the diff will go in flush to the mounting face. :D

Maybe it is, but this diff is huge :finger:

After talking to a lot of people the only two options agreed apon by most with a custom axle was a 9" or a nissan. I have seen many broken stock 9" centres, I have never seen a broken Nissan H260 - but i am shore people have broken it.
