Post Thu Apr 28, 2005 2:59 pm

Does anyone know the weight of a diff please ( large case diff ) as I have someone who asked me to price up delivery for my 3.73 open diff, and im not getting it off the car till i know its acceptable.

So..... if any1 has a diff lying on the garage floor, could you weigh it for me please and let me know how much it weighs? theres a beer in it for ya i promise!

NO GUESSING PLEASE! I can guess myself.

no mate, it doesnt help me much, as i need a weight. Having already sold one diff before, i already knew it was "fookin heavy" too, but thanks for replying.

Anyone got one kicking round? (dont kick it though - you will probably break your foot!)

weight is approx 23kgs i think for a big diff. so postage will be around Ãƒ”šÃ‚£25.

EH??? 23Kg???? Jon, you normally know ur sh1t, so i wont argue too hard, but........ are you sure mate?????

Ive got 30Kg on a curling bar that i use daily, and theres no way i could curl the weight of a diff in the sets i do with my bar! I was thinking it was more than my curling bar @ 30kg.

Not argueing mate, coz u know i hold your expertise in high regard, but do u mind if i ask if u r sure???

Curling bar is made for that tho Scott!

Diff isn't ideal shape for weight lifting so it will seem heavier.

Although I did think the big case ones were heavier than 23kg?

Oh well. I'm no doubt wrong!

Dave, ive dont "standing rowing" with well over 30kg many times (with just a weight disc, no bar) so the shape isnt part of my quiery, but the diff does seem heavier than that.

The disc weight manufacture is probably telling porkies to make you feel hard!

Simon, you are a fekin LEG END! LEG END SIR! LEG-END! LEGEND!

Thats nearer what i thought to be honest, i had a feeling it was knocking on 40kg, but i needed to be accurate for shipping.

The diff in the pic' is an LSD diff', it may be slightly heavier than an open diff'.

Post Thu Apr 28, 2005 5:11 pm

pmsl! if u can drink a litre of LSD oil AND HOLD IT DOWN AND NOT BE ILL AFTER IT, i'll buy it for you... but im gonna wanna watch you drink it and i'll monitor you to make sure u dont spew it back into a diff!

classy thought isnt it!
