will_warne Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 The small but very significant latest to cause the most grief: What was that Tony? Unfortunately I'm having problems with my photobucket account and I don't have some of my old breakage photo on my newest computer (it's been a while since I've broken anything ). If I get it sorted I'll dig out some of the "Errrrr, how did that break????" collection including the Zeus chocolate timing gear set, 'some' very broken CVs (including one which blew out the end of the stub axle meaning the hub nuts wouldn't come off), a Bamptonified gearbox cross member and a collection of metal fragments that used to be centre diff spider gears.... Edited to add gearbox x-member: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white90 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Agreed, Jim is sorting me out though so not so bad Awtg the return of my main shaft with the new M12 bolt fixing Big Si suggested using a Titanium bolt or a lower grade(not so brittle) this was a 12.9 rated. I wouldn't feel happy with just another M8 in there, perched at the top of a slope again the only way to reverse with no safety line. I guess twin motors means further upgrades required. I thought the 12mm rope had snapped the bang was pretty loud. Still another opportunity to clean the inside of the motors and winch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Looking at the bolt in question Tony , im suprised a 12.9 stretched as far as it did before breaking . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 I had heard a noise earlier in the day just didn't tie it together the bolt hadn't been in there very long it was a replacement sent to me. Still could have been far worse if it had snapped at Wellington in the quarry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 When I took my ARB's apart to have 4.1:1 CW&P's fitted, frogs found this on one of them: Don't know how it happened, could have been slightly out of adjustment maybe? it never made any noise, so was obviously well and truly "stuck" in place with the bearing preload etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddy Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 These are the only ones i have on this computer but... Managed this with 31" at's This happened when i ripped the balljoint mount off the axle at full chat on a hillclimb Pushing 90 with a telehandler when a tyre popped off the rim and dug in M12 dropped out the front of the gearbox and got jammed under the flywheel. I also have quite a few pics of chewed up diff bits along with a religious axle casing after the afore mentioned bits of diff took flight. Will.
