BROWNY 1968 57 Posted Saturday at 22:04 Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 22:04 (edited) So my lead on a diff case has dried up, so looks like i gotta buy a new lsd 😕 Been looking at a gripper lsd, anyone using one, are they any good ? We managed to get the battery box bolted in (cheers Jack) needs a touch up of yellow around the top More soon 😁 Edited Saturday at 22:05 by BROWNY 1968 Link to post Share on other sites
notenoughtime 647 Posted Saturday at 22:08 Report Share Posted Saturday at 22:08 Looks like the cars really coming along now, shame about the diff casing Link to post Share on other sites
colr6 2,396 Posted Saturday at 22:16 Report Share Posted Saturday at 22:16 I’ve a gripper in the Anglebox, it’s bloody noisy when cold. Sounds like the props loose !! Once it’s warmed up it’s great. Supposed to be able to withstand more than a good thrashing and are very highly rated. Link to post Share on other sites

BROWNY 1968 57 Posted Saturday at 22:48 Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 22:48 oh forgot to mention, i bought a pair of kawasaki bike calipers to go on the rear, 1.05kg each, think there light enough, will need to skim the discs a bit, will see when they arrive more soon 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites
BROWNY 1968 57 Posted Monday at 22:39 Author Report Share Posted Monday at 22:39 small update, been making new bumper mounts out of aluminium for my new flyweight rear bumper, gonna chop the ends so i can use my rs end caps on it. might get round to making fibreglass end caps eventually, but will go with the ford ones for now. pics soon 😁 Link to post Share on other sites
notenoughtime 647 Posted Tuesday at 07:12 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:12 Regarding the diff case could it not be put in a lathe and cleaned up or is it totally knackered Link to post Share on other sites
BROWNY 1968 57 Posted Tuesday at 08:51 Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:51 Yeah i was going to do that, but the case had closed up a bit, and it was hard to get the internals out, i made a lump of steel to bang down the groove to try and open it back out, but its split the case down both sides, did think about welding it up, but dunno how safe it would be or how long it will last Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
BROWNY 1968 57 Posted Tuesday at 21:55 Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 21:55 (edited) I bit the bullet today and ordered a new gripper diff 😲😜😁 i hope we get as many trouble free years as my zf gave me ( i bought it second hand in 1992 😲😆) More soon Still on the look out for a case for my old zf as i could chuck it in my v6 transit 😁 Edited Tuesday at 21:58 by BROWNY 1968 Link to post Share on other sites
BROWNY 1968 57 Posted Wednesday at 22:07 Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 22:07 (edited) Still getting bits done, managed to get my new bumper fitted tonight, its a bit flimsy, have fitted the genuine end caps for now, might have a go at making some glass ones at a later date, trying to get it back together asap, want to go racing More soon Edited Wednesday at 22:08 by BROWNY 1968 1 Link to post Share on other sites
