Can anyone assist me with obtaining a centre for a Large Salsibury.

I need a Detroit Locker or similar.

Any leads or suggestions?

Thanks,

I spoke to them about a Salisbury conversion for my Torana. They recommended against it as Salisbury parts were getting hard to find. It would still be worth a call.

Thanks Dave, appreciate it.
Thanks Andy, WA Diffs tell me they can't get new parts, haven't seen a locker for one and the best they could do would be hand build an LSD out of a Stato but it would need the cones replacing on a rgular basis.
Thanks Datto, i've made a couple of calls and it won't fit.

Any more ???

Please??

Does Ron not have anything ?

[A9X]

everything but.

And no suggestions either.

You would think i was after something weird, like roller rockers for a Zeta Lightburn.

Actually pissing me off considering all the odd bits that keep falling out of sheds.

[dattoman]

Roller rockers I can do


Now as for the centre....... I have an idea

He built the centre for the Janson/Perkins car
Do you have the diff yet or is it still being built ?
I'm not sure how much of it he needs to do the deed

Ring him for info

[A9X]

Legend.

And thanks to the guys who pm'd me with leads.

Appreciate it.

Hopefully the diff lead will pay off

By the way I have 2 pots of paint for you now too (50 gram with brush in lid)

Just let me know when you want them and where to drop them off

[A9X]

Are you going to thursday nights no limits meet?

Harrops have given me another good lead. Oh, they also said they would 'build' me one from a 9 inch donor, - $3k

[dattoman]

No limits ?
Is that the Wannaroo track night thingy ?
I didn't know there was one on....... but if there is I might come up for a look

I'm not allowed to enter my car so I'll just watch

Welby,

At what point is a Salisbury no longer a Salisbury based on the rules that apply to your class?

[A9X]

Sorry Andy,
I don't quite understand where your going?

If you are referreing to why a Salisbury, the rules state 'original fitment of components to a base model plus options or variants to that model.'

Thus we choose a salisbury over the original banjo for strength and durability.

If you are refering to modifications to the salisbury, the C2 rules for gbox/trans/final drive state - 'internal components of the gearbox and final drive assy, including ratios, are free, save that the original number of forward gears must be retained.' and further ' full floating hubs on live rear axles, fitted by minimum modification to housings are permitted and encouraged'.

Is that what you are after?

I had one years ago, it had Ford internals in a steel hemisphere that was stamped "Harrop Engineering". I busted it and ended up running a locker. The whole centre got sold off with the car.

[ls2lxhatch]

Welby,

Yes, you answered my question. I figured you had to run a Salisbury diff because of the class rules and I wanted to know how much you were allowed to modify it.

I find it interesting that an A9X is considered a variant of the LX considering they do not share the same floor pan. ( I assume you have an LX hatch because you mentioned the banjo )
