ugg10 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 Are you willing to split the diff from the axle and also post out. If so, can you let me know what you want for just the diff posted to UK address ? Alternatively do you have a postage price for delivery of the whole axle (BN12 post code) ?
Daft Lad Picko Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Posted October 23, 2014 I need to get rid of the whole thing, it's taking too much room up in my garage and slowing the project. I think I'd find it hard to get rid of just the casing. How much were you willing to offer for the diff only?
ugg10 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 I am building an Anglia at the moment which has a 4.125 diff which is a bit short for my intended use. So, I can possibly take the whole axle, and swap the diffs as I have a bit of storage room at the moment. I guess I would be looking at around £75 delivered for the Diff only and £120 for the whole axle delivered. I can pay by paypal and will cover costs of paypal fees on top of those prices so I have some protection (been burnt before with paypal gifts). The assumption is that the diff is in good condition with no chips out of the CWP and no sloppyness, backlash or whines (can you confirm this). Thanks
Daft Lad Picko Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Posted October 23, 2014 There was definitely no whining coming from the diff when it was in my Escort. There is a bit of 'slop' in the movement, but only as much as you'd expect with a used diff (prop input moves no more than 5 degrees before the hubs turn). I reckon that rebuilding with a new crush washer will eliminate the vast majority of this. I can't vouch for the CWP because it's never been apart. I'm awaiting quotes on delivery because of the size and weight.
Daft Lad Picko Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Posted October 23, 2014 Does anybody know of any couriers that will carry heavier items? The quote I received for the English axle was £136!!!!
turnover Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 Will give you £50 for shocks and lowering blocks posted ,let me know thanks
ugg10 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 Have a look on Parcel2go - 50kg, less than 2.4m with TNT is £33. (I weighed my diff, axle case and 1/2 shafts at 30Kg so a bit more for the brakes and packing and 50kg should not be too far off I hope, diff is 16kg on it's own). Hope that helps. Edit - parcelmonkey has 49kg with DX for £22.
ugg10 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Posted October 26, 2014 Sorry, going to have to withdraw my offer, had an unexpected bill on the front end of the car so will have to postpone the rear diff upgrade. Out of interest, did you manage to get a half decent price for shipping it would be useful to know who by for future reference?
johnmk3capri Posted October 28, 2014 Report Posted October 28, 2014 How wide are the single leafs ? What's the price deliverd ?

Daft Lad Picko Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Posted November 14, 2014 The single leafs are 60mm wide. I'd do them posted for £50. Sorry for the delay, I've not been feeling too good.
