To the point where my plan was to do what soren did and weld a mog flange on the end of a landy axle with the diff upside down. I’ve got one tacked together but can’t do a propper test fit with the shafts in place. Nige has got some 2.88 ring and pinions on the shelf with my name on to make the gearing a bit more sensible too... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I'd be really concerned about the LR axle ever putting up with that amount of weight flapping around on the ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) So been having a bit of rough measuring I think I can take 110mm off pinion length plus what I've already removed gives me 155mm or a smidge over 6" I was looking to extend chassis by around 7" but I may get away with not lengthening at all, so all looking good on paper at least. But, there is a few issues namely splines to cut and threads to machine which is a pain as I have never done either with lathe or mill, also diff has internal threads for tightening up taper bearings so lots to do and think about regards Stephen Edited May 10, 2021 by Stellaghost 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Possibly, two taper bearings back to back, threads on pinion shaft tightens inner races and pushes bearing into tapered on-board bearing. Prop side bearing outer race is tightened by threaded castellated ring that screws into diff nose, may struggle with a shim to get bearing tight enough regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
