Thanks Mikey - I was just on my way to this thread to say the auction price has leapt into the realms of the ridiculous.
So thank you to all the kind offers of help - all deeply appreciated, but now not needed.
Thank you everyone
-
A kaiser one - bought it on here ready built up and it's my first foray into locking diffs of any description (just worked on trying to balance the suspension up until now).
Only done 10 miles on it so far though. Feels tighter (?) than my old one, which seems to make the rest of the drive train clunk a little quicker ...
All a learning curve for me.
-
The more I think about atb diffs the more I like the idea. Though I've just today put a self locking diff in the back - so will see how I get on with it.
-
This one has free wheel hubs - perhaps in response to the same issue, though it wasn't mentioned.
-
I iz !
I understood the benefits of open diffs - and some of the disadvantages of locked diffs, but I'd assumed they were of little consequence across the centre diff and only of noticeable affect across the axle.
-
I visited the chap who built it today and took a picture from a magazine it had been in ......
-
Thanks Noisy!
-
It look fabulous. Though I am ignorant to its use.
Could someone educate me as to the advantages of it compared to simply locking the centre diff ?

Sorry for the daft question - but I can't find anything on the web site that says where it actually is ?
-
It is when what they do seems to equate to fraud and theft ?!
-
I'll drive up Saturday morning James.
-
We have spoken - but not arranged a place to meet yet...... I'm mulling over a few possible routes
-
Who's coming then ?
-
Thanks for the feedback Lewis
-
I think the later axles had the cups spot welded on - when I changed suspension on my td5 I had to drill the spot welds out to knock them off.
-
Is it the case that standard flanges are deliberately the weak link ?
-
Yes - though often they don't seem keen on it ....
I'll see what they say.
-
Thank you everyone.
The auction price is rapidly climbing - so I'll see what happens in the next day or two.
-
What length dampers are you running Michele?
-
That chap, Buck, on Pirate ran standard radius arms with one bush moves closer to the other (on one side) - before he went to a 3 link.
It's only anecdotal and second hand - but from memory he said it was a good set up.
-
Great options here guys - thank you !
Still 8 days left on the auction - so I'll feed back how it's going
Thank you again everyone.
-
Nightmare.
I had a nightmare today too - but unfortunately yours tops it.
Hope sorting Brian gets sorted easily and cheaply for you ..

I'm near Preston - but could easily make the trip to anyone else in lancs.
Door refurb and Mach5s for my '87 Ninety

Agree wholeheartedly about the doors. The Mach 5's are no longer made though - cheap copies putting him out of business I understand.
£5k is a fair wedge to have to spend on your truck - so it's worth really thinking about it. You can achieve a lot more than just new doors and expensive wheels.- you could get it put on a new galvanised chassis in that budget quite comfortably .... ?
