ASAP thanks mate. The housing will be done soon so in the next 2 weeks the diff will be ready to go in. I can pm you my mobile if you need. I will fix you up for your time as well if you can help out, throw ya some beer or coin

2 weeks, plenty of time
i'll give the wreckers a call tomorrow if i have time

Thanks A SH_TLOAD dude. The mob doing the diff arnt rushing it cause they know I am still chasing an axle but once they know I have one they will get straight on it.

fair enough, i think it took 2 days for the guys to do my axle
then say another 3-4 days for postage

Awsome, Did they do a good job. Also did they case harden the axle once they finished?

yeah looked to be a good job, have about 100mm or so of spline to play with and the axle doesnt go undersized anymore so its actually stronger than a stock axle

dont know if they hardened it or not, but i dont think so as mine has slight wear marks on it

Good to here they do a good job and that the axle is thicker/stronger

Thats cool is they dont case harden it, Thats 1 thing that I can get done up here.

You are always gonna get wear marks, but case hardening will just make it last a hell of a lot longer.

The basic method to case hardening is to heat it till its cherry red then quench it in oil and leave it in the oil till its cool. There more to it than that but thats just a quick explanation

Heres another question for ya pigdog. Whats the torque specs for doing up the pinion nut

no idea what the torque specs are

some bad news, the wreckers i was counting on to supply the axle just told me that they got rid of all there diffs.....who does that
but ive got them hunting down another one and they are calling me back tomorrow, so i shall let you know how i go
