Ok so my wheels are;

 

hot wire - 80mm

sprinty - 75mm

steel wheel 65mm

 

standard axle - 63mm.

 

not as accurate as Col's method and only closer to the face and not inside.

Ok so I'm no engineer and don't proclaim to be some super duper expert on diffs. But personally I always try to do stuff 100% or the best i can.

 

The center is from harrop.

 

the axles are from Terry.

 

My mechanic who raced with terry or held his hand, which i cannot remember now, but he calls up terry and goes " where is that dick head " so they must be good friends.

 

He said and i quote " i have a bloke here who needs some axles like mine, he's straight up and won't dick you around " passes the phone over to me and that the start of the conversation.

 

so yes terry will be;

 

1) providing billet axles and machining to suite what yourdiff is - to date i only have one variance and this is  A9X diff with a hq drum brakes and HQ stud pattern. the rest are standard LJ stuff.

2) custom making the backing plate - which will be thicker 

3) providing studs on the drilled axles

4) if required machining the center diameter to suit your rims - but standard torana brake drums will have to be machined as the center hole fits over the axles

5) studs for the axles - A9X want's thicker studs 

6) wheel bearings pressed on 

 

the above is the goal.

 

 

So yes terry has the biggest job and technical job. I'm seeing him tomorrow in person for the first time.

 

but you all have to sign off on the specifications of the diff and axles prior to this stuff going ahead as i only wanted one (1) set up and don't want to hear about bull shit for 40 years after.

Yes. He said you'd visited :)

I took the Torana and ended up staying for an hour.

Had a good look at his sons race car. Interesting to see a fast NC car from underneath. Some trick stuff but still legal.

I was going to put it in this weekend but the Bathurst Hill Climb that I entered is now cancelled and replaced by a flying fifth mile.

My 3.36 lsd Is going to work better for that event so won't fit the TrueTrac until early December.

yeah I was also entered in that H/C....but decided to pull my entry once they advised it was not on.... as its an overnighter for us, and the 1/5 probably not really my thing.
Will have a go in a local hillclimb up here on the 23rd instead....should be a good hit out with the new diff.

Good luck for the 1/5 too mate.

Just waiting on axles now.
