Is anything happening with this? I'd be pretty interested in on of these beasts.

...bump...

 

Did this die in the arse or is something still happening in the background.

My old offer of posting you a diff stands Cameron!! :evil:

I might just post mine down to the guy in Melbourne, but would be cool if we could organise a group buy to make it cheaper. Even if we sent our stuff in separately but organised it so that there was still a group of 10-20 centers done or something.

 

Or if Cameron gets it sorted out then we can go through him

any idea on a total price, with/without a group buy, as this

looks like well worth the effort, good idea !

Hi,

OK this hasnt died in the ass...lol yet....lol

 

I have been snowed under this year with other commitments and this project has gone to the extreme back burner. I did how ever find springs metal just no diff for a trial but the springs I now can't find...lol So I'm waiting.

 

But Si a mate of mine here is hopefully still donating me a whole running working KE70 diff with 2 rims :evil: for nothing just because he doesn't want it. So hopefully I can collect this in a few weeks. If not I am buying a 4.4:1 rare ratio diff center for my KE15 so I might make a unit for the ke15 and see how it goes.

 

But other wise yeah project is on hold kinda.....but I like the idea for a group buy if the guy will do it might be a faster option..lol

 

Cameron

any updates mate?

 

really keen for one of these

 

i like the idea of clamping it together and welding some flat steel on it and sliding it in and grinding it off

Hi,

Again still this project is on the back turner..lol Currently to busy with study,work, and 2 turbine projects,jet kart, smelter project to cast metal (finally got 80L gas tank for project so WOOT soon to fire up) and other shit so mmm this has been entered into cue at position 156 so umm yeah ill try this one day just not now....But I keep getting told there not worth it LOTS so umm I guess if ur keen there $200 from most places but one test it for us.

Sorry, but i don't have measurements of it. The plates are pretty thick, and the springs are very tough. The bloke has to use a press to compress the plates and then slide it into the diff. Apparently its a prick of a job and not something that you would attempt in your shed over the weekend. However, if you have mates with metal skills and tools, then its another story. :(

Maybe ask him to email you some details, or even fax it. I am flat out this week, and will be away from home for work next week. If nothing has happened after late next week, i may be able to swing past and get the details on it. Not sure how willing he would be in giving away specific measurements and part numbers though.

 

 

hey mate, i as just wondering if you had any rough dimensions on the plates/springs in this set up??

Not a clue.

The diff is for sale so i don't really want to go stripping it down to find out.

I got a rolla diff. its 4.3 ratio. (U282)

 

I'm interested in this project.

 

my ke35 diff is dismantled on my bench

 

heres a really rough picture with the basic dimensions (I'm waiting for inventor to come so i can put it on there.)

 

I can design the plates and get the springs made, (I go to a tech college studying mechanical engineering)

 

we are gonna make this happen.

the only other problem i can think of is,

 

what is stopping the plates from moving slightly into the spider gears??

 

thats the last thing you want doing 100 km/hr in a rally...

 

heres my project rally car people

Sweet, good to hear this might go somewhere :P

 

If not, I am just gonna pay for a Tayell conversion.

Why doesnt someone one buy his diff as its for sale, take out the Plates and springs. see how it all works. and get the plates replicated??? make up say 10 copies. sell the buggers on here. if they are a hit. make more. shouldnt be too hard should it?

The plates sit against the big spider gears. Al it could do is run against the little ones too!

Worse case its only gunna make you cut twins if it somehow jams! :P
