looking good ,almost looks like a real 4wd know :mrgreen:

Just needs sliders and a usable spare.

Are you planing on adding any protection for the rear quarters?

I don't suppose that had anything to do will all the beer that was involved in the design and fab process.

And you know how much grief we will all have to put up with if the precious singsong gets a dent in it.

The samsung singsong has sung a song of a vastly different tune. Sounds like an old country and western singer, all coarse and grating of voice, with odd clicks, clanks and jerky movements...

Off back down to spend a morning with Taz, one of the GOOD BASTARDS of this world.

if a picture is worth a thousand words.......

Lots of knuckle bruising gave us this..

Details of brgs and seals and ABS sensor

all to find this ........

as compared to THIS.... we think from a 3.2L petrol Musso??

However, of little use as its quite a bit bigger, as you can see here

AAh seen one of those things before and he managed to open it for a looksee. Its a crapass bit of engineering those diffs, there is no actual physical drive, it depends on springs and friction etc

Are you saying that there are NO spider gears at all? How then does it allow for one wheel turning faster then the other when cornering?. Jack the back up, and turn one wheel and the other turns in the opposite direction. All this with clutches and springs? I have just GOTTA yank this thing apart as soon as I find a replacement now. I have to see this for mine own eyes.

At LAST!!! The Good Ole Boys from Palmy came thru...

First bit was to make the new and beautiful chunk of machined-steel-in-a-box now looks like THIS!!!

THAT was the easy bit, lots of help from more good ole boys and a young feller... Wazzis name, Taz? and with a little encouragement from Stinko.... a vacant space appeared under the Samsung.... What to do with THAT????

Test drove at around 5PM. A fun job, thanks guys for letting me do the tricky bits myself.

Post script.
Started off with 0.007" backlash measured at the tip of the tooth. I should expect it will settle down during running, and I will check after a few 1000K and re-measure, Expect it to open out to around 0.012". Do I re-shim?

HA!!! FAR too late, Reece and wrong on so many levels.

But seriously, your timing SUCKS, mate!! When we get back from Waiurou, I am on a promise to go into the North-western Ruahnies with an old mate, which also means that I will be going through Marae-Kakahoe twice, one IN and one OUT so diverting into Hastings to see you and then Chrissie will be ON.

you could always demonstrate your new toy to the Wellingtonians, who have heard about you, but don't actually believe you exist!!
