No mate. I have no further involvement with that case at this point in time. I simply extracted the siezed speedo drive so Rory could further strip the case.

As for you helping him? Nar mate. At $170 for a case that was in need of a complete rebuild, and condition unkown to you, you didn't help him at all.

Still, both parties agreed on the price based on information provided; information that I have no access to, so I'm not here to pass judgement on a deal I know very little about.

Its nice of you to offer parts to help make this right. Given I have only seen 30% of the case and its parts, and half of those parts are un-usable, I'd say it will take a fair bit to bring it back to a usable state. It may be easier/ cheaper to give him a partial refund. But that is between you guys.

As for bad feedback being discouraging....... well it can be. But you have the opportunity to make good too. Just depends how you want to look at it.

Hi All,

Thought I would attach the link to 1.0L Sierra transfer again:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEAFB:IT

Mainly because my describtion has been challenged, obviously this is unedited as you can't after the fact. For the record, I listed it for 99cents and had nothing to do with the price after that.

Hi All,

Postage to your postcode is $30.00 and I have been selling these for $75.00 to $80.00 each.

So by omitting information like........ the speedo had not worked in the donor car for some time, but was driven on anyway for long enough to wear giant scollops out of the siezed speedo drive gear; and.......I have absolutely NO idea what condition this case is in, at the very least it needs bearings and seals, buy at your own risk; ........You think that proves your case of full disclosure?

Sure, you didn't directly say it was in good condition, but phrases like " its not perfect" are quite vague, and certainly don't give the impression that it could be a giant paper weight.

Perhaps you could provide a little more info next time, or just be honest and say that you have no idea what condition it is in. Might save someone some money, and you the negative feedback.

Hi Peter,

You have a very good point, hindsight is a wonderful thing, certainly would describe it differently next time. At the time, it made sense to me, it selected all of the ranges, turned over without irregularity which suggested there were no broken gears. It had been out of a car for a long time. Also added phone number so people could ask me about it, when Rorie did, I was honest as I said before, would not know true condition until it was apart. Furthermore, if anything was worn out or broken, I would supply the parts needed to bring it up to scratch, happy to send parts as I have spares.

Thankyou for your input, would like to resolve this.

Hey greg. Have you got any lj diffs in the 5+ratio? I remember seeing on here the centers? Or the ring and pinion could be used in the 1 liter NT diff centers. At the mo' mines a 4.1 or a 4.3.

[tanshi]

lj diffs came in 4.5 or 4.8 ratios, yeas they will fit in the 1liter diff housings.

there were also 5.1s from a super carry which will also fit

[sogone]

The whole centers or just the actual r+p's tanshi??

[tanshi]

i believe the 4.5 and 4.8 ring and pinions will fit in 1 litre thirds. 5.1s wont, as there a different bolt pattern

but yes the whole third from an lj80 (4.5) or an lj50 (4. will fit into the 1 litre axle assembly

[sogone]

Thanks mate! Greg. Have ya got any lj50 front and rear third member?

[tanshi]

just as another important piece of information, lj50 and 80 side gears are all 22 spline.

you need stockman or one litre rear carrier to get 26 spline to fit the axles

[sogone]

HahahA. Ok. So both are 26 spline? I have perfectly good 84 running diffs. I can just change the side gears from these yes?

[tanshi]

yeah pretty sure the side gears will work.

i was happy to say my peice and move on,, but since u insist i will take u and everyone who wants to see back to the 1st original text..

i advertised for a 1ltr case specifing it needs to be in GOOD CONDITION!!!!!!!!
U REPLIED,,, YES RORIE I HAVE ONE!!!!ON EBAY

is that simple enuf ????
u should have said i have one but its probably fucked!!!
there was never a mention of supplying parts either so dont try that bullshit.

[Boggomobile]

Hi All,

Rorie, I regret this misunderstanding and will be reviewing how I describe things on ebay. Thankyou for explaining the GOOD CONDITION part as I was completely bamboozled.

Hi All,

Sorry about the delay in replying, limited access to the net can be a pain. Happy to share what I have learnt:
LJ50, LJ80 both front and rear, Stockman and 1.0L front diffs all interchange without changing anything except driveshaft bolts on some ocasions. (there is an exception with a later model 1984 Sierra that runs diff flanges and driveshafts the same as 1.3L NT).

With the rear diffs that have the bigger axles, before you unbolt the centre out of donor diff, must be 1976 onwards (the ratio that you want), mark the caps left and right and don't unbolt the locking tabs that retain the adjusters. Then you can bolt the 4.88 or 4.55 crownwheel straight onto the centre with the bigger side gears, then the centre can be fitted back into the donor diff centre. This won't work on early LJ50 diffs which can be identified by the grub screw and locknut on the side of the centre, they are the same ratio as later LJ50, but crownwheels are different.

In other words for example as this can be confusing, 1.0L hemisphere inside closen crownwheel (donor diff) can then fit into the centre of the donor diff. On every ocasion that I have done this, the backlash is close to specifications, if it is just a paddock basher, it is good enough! The correct way is to adjust the backlash and set it up properly by the book. Like all things, there are exceptions, on some diffs you can simply change the side gears from 22 spline to 26 spline, this is the case with 1.0L and 1.3L NT Sierras. In other words rear side gears can be fitted to front diff centres to make them a rear.

This bit is just my opinion, there is a shortage of diff parts for Widetracks simply because the front diff does not interchange with the rear. My suggestion for this problem is to fit 1.3L 3.9 NT diff centres as a job lot into Widetrack housings. Not much of a ratio drop, but you get 4 spider difffs at both ends and they are more readily available.

Hope I have not confused everyone and yes I have diff centres and complete assemblies for all of the above mentioned models except Widetrack!

Hi All,

Sogone, think you told me that your 1.0L diffs are out ou the later model 1984 with the bigger NT size driveshafts. The problem that you will have is the diff flanges will be different, one way around that problem is to change the baseplates on the driveshaft using the universal as the adapter. Check my post on drive flanges on page 6.

Is the actual mirror the same. I have the arm that bolts to the car, just missing the mirror that connects at the ball joint

Hi All,

dez82, all of the ones that I have had are the same, sounds like you have the part that is hard to get which is good for you! You used to be able to buy aftermarket Kingmirrors and the ball and socket is the same size so they would interchange, don't know where to buy them now?

To swap them over, remove the clamp screw and leave in sun until warm. Then hold the mirror part face down on a hard flat surface and this is the tricky part, pull the ball out of the socket ( it is very easy to break the mirror). Then carefully insert the arm that you want to use, do not over tighten the clamp screw!

Cheers

The mirror head is the same at the early SJ40 Mirror. Swap the head over to your bracket by the method described by Bogomobile.

Hi dez82,
How does $15.00 plus postage sound, you may be better off trying for an aftermarket one, maybe Suzi store? the reason I say is a new one will be more flexible in the socket and less likely to crack.
