Welded Diff

Post Mon Sep 08, 2008 2:54 pm

I've tried searching for this but can't find what I'm after. Anyone got instructions for welding a diff?? I have a couple spare so thought I'd try it. Any info much appreciated.

if you sighn up on www.trampdrift.com i think they have a guide on how to do it if not im sure some one will have pics. me and my mate welded mine the other week you just weld all the planet gears together then put a plate in the middle and fill it full of weld

Jimmy, you'll be checking the engine too then!! Its going in along side a 325 lump! Just thought I'd have some fun over the winter and then come march put it back to a 318 or a 320....probably a 320

I welded mine the other week and loved it until it let go. I did it on a spur of the moment though sod idn't look into it properly. turns out I hadn't welded enough.

Got a new diff on now, will be welding that up shortly though.

i have pics of welding my diff up on my build page here ;)

try to remove any welding "spatter" which gets in the diff. i went round mine for 30mins with a hammer and an old screwdriver and rinsed with oil. i will also change the oil after a test run.

good luck happy welding
