cant say too much yet....

i was right about the 32" tyres on the zook giving more clearance

wooohooo im right about something

just a shame one of my spider gears has more steel in it than your whole diff

[wopass]

well thanks to suzola( thanks for the shafts mate ) im going to manage to get my rear driveshaft fixed and made better at the same time.
all before next weekend, so that means i have all week to get the diff brace finished and in place on the front before the drags

im so there

[wopass]

well being not well and staying at home today i managed to get my diff brace done on the front



not pretty and very agricultural but hey...should do the job

[De-Ranged]

Ya reakon thats gona handle reverse gear "wrap" those tension thing'ys (to many woody's to remember what they're called) don't handle compression very well, especially with being wound right out

would be keen to see how it is after the drags

Cheers Reece

[wopass]

the "turnbuckle"thingy should be sweet, its the same size as the rear one and that handled the wires loop and is still in one piece...touch wood...

you comming up to the drags De- ?
fingers crossed anyway

[De-Ranged]

I'd love too, I'd love to have a toy going to have a go with but work keeps rearing its ugly head joys of being a boss I spose

You'll have to take some pics of the fun for us "fun challanged" types

As for the axle wrap bar I was planing on some for my lux I was looking at one that anchors top and bottom of the diff and and the bar will be anchored to the transfer case X member and I'm gona try and keep it close to the drive shaft hopefully provide some support when dealing with toi toi bush's.... bloody nasty things them

Cheers Reece

Now just crank that turnbuckle out until your driveline is straight and you shouldn't trash any more UJs

Looking good... keep it up

yea thats what i was thinking,unfortunatly the steering geometry goes all to shit then ... new front drive shaft is in the pipeline when i have time...like after the drags.only have time to do the rear at this stage with a surf yolk, but thats the one with major PMS...thats "post maratoto stress"

got a shaft off a surf(rear)to shorten and mate to the flanges for the front,seems the surf yolks have way more driven angle than the cruiser or hilux ones so im picking that if i get that done then i may not go thru quite so many UJ's ...heres hopeing anyway

will keep you posted

did i mention i have a V6pac and trans sitting in my garage to drop into something now ?......all i need now is a ute

[krawlr]

castor wedge plates ,using them will take away that constant tension that the torque bar provides..........

just my thoughts........

where the hell do i get proper wedge plates from ? the bits of ground flat bar that i have in there arent looking to flash anymore

[krawlr]

what degree you want?or just go off whats in there now?

[SupraLux]

The V6 should be a nice donor for DB's new toy... or are you attached to it?

Cut and turn the knuckles then make new perches... get it close then use wedges to fine tune it...

I rotated my rear by making new top plates then sticking a 10x10mm piece under one edge to lift it then just filled with weld all round... rotated it by quite a bit... the front would be similar.

I can get those wedges - I think they are about $40/pr... I'll check up on it for ya.
