Yes. But the mould cost is the stopping power. Not a big cost but whoever pays for the mould would need to get quite a few sales to get costs back.
I don't think there is a market there or we (company) would fit the cost for the mould. JMO

Can anyone tell me if this project has gone ahead?
I am going to pull my diff apart next week and need to either buy the part from Suzuki or get one from Tim/Bruce etc. Can someone please clarify.

[ODA1]

I have gone ahead with it after a long chat. I have one for post whore to try in his diff when he gets back from up north. Let me know when you need it and I will bring it around.

[Mugwui]

Cheers, thanks Tim.

[ODA1]

Give me a sms. I'll have to start the strip down of the vitt diff under the house to do the conversion.

Any one have some 26 spline sierra side gear's thay want to give me??

[ODA1]

[steak_knife]

Give me a hoi, don't have any plan's other than working on the wagon's.

[steak_knife]

Pm sent..

[steak_knife]

I have bush!!!!!

The new bush is the Black one.

[Mugwui]

I'm going to be a racist and say...I dont like black bush, I want a white one. But that said and done, considering I have to pay for bush, if black black bush is going to save me a few bucks, then black bush it is!!!
When can I get bush and what will bush cost me?

[steak_knife]

Pm Tim, Or if your dead keen on the white bush it cost me $134.26 to buy, so if you want it?

[Mugwui]

Will do.

[Bruce]

You get black and black only. Cause that the only colour we do that material in. Or go buy gen from Suzuki

Post whore, let either Tim or myself know how it goes.

Will do mate, Just looking at it , I already know it'll work.

Good job mate, size is perfectly identical.

[Bruce]

That's good to know. Full steel mould. Now Tim just has to sell quite a few to get some coin back before he can start making some coin from it.

[Mugwui]

I'll take one, Tim, PM Sent.

[ODA1]

they will retail for $88, it will take a while to recover mold cost but i think they will sell in the long run.

look forward to write ups from all here.

getting back to my original thread...before all this plastic stuff took over

I'm getting a bearing holder turned up, as per cj's original pdf file, I'm also getting a passengers side shaft cut down and re-splined, allowing the use of the same drive shaft both sides.

Have been quoted $250 to anneal the shaft, cut it down and respline, and then re-harden the shaft...anyone know if that sounds about right?

[steak_knife]

Sound's ok, there is a bit of work there.
Then re hardened.

thanks bloke for the early morning courier service...

I didn't even hear you stop, I might have been asleep

[Mugwui]

I've got the bush in my diff...works a treat, no movement and no leak.

[atari4x4]

Hey Mugwui, This is a different set up to the bush, it's a stub axle & bearing on the RHS to bolt in a LHS cv.

[Mick70b]

Hi all, just wondering if these bushes are still available? I am building up my steel GV diff at the moment and wouldn't mind fitting one. Who do I contact and is it still $88.00 ??? Thanks

[Bruce]

ODA1 is the contact.

[Mick70b]

Thanks for that Bruce

[Gwagensteve]

I know this is well after the fact, but I was going through some old photos and found the photos of CJ's bearing install, including the narrowed stub shaft and modified calmini drop bracket.

This setup has been VERY reliable. I't been in about 5 cars since the photos were taken!









Steve.

[atari4x4]

thanks for the pics, Polar_Bear & myself are in the process of getting these made.... it's been a while since i've had an update on the machining

[Polar_Bear]

top pics steve, they are exactly what we were after, I've sent off that pdf file of the cad drawing, which i presume is correct and they are 'supposedly' in production..however it has been a while since ive heard from the guy...might have to give him another call.

Obviously with the wide chassis models the calmini diff drop bracket bolts need recessing in to clear the new cv flange, are you just using the allen key to do them up?
