Diff rebuild - tools required

[nikbj68]

a 50 yr old is way better than a cheap new one.

That`s what the missus keeps telling me!!!


Oh God... She`s behind me, isn`t she?!

I have a friend who has a Hawk, he put a Quaife in his axle, he has never spoken positively about it, apparently when traction is lost it is really LOST and in the wet with a lot of torque this is less than desirable.

I four linked my open 3.07 tube axle with coilovers and am very pleased, I see no need to fit an LSD unit.

On bearings - if changing buy the very best, a 50 yr old is way better than a cheap new one.

Thanks for the comments, who provides the 4 link kit - or was it custom made?

Edit
Should have said a 50 yr old good one is better than a cheap new one

A quick google revealed this http://www.classicconversionseng.com/MG ... ension.htm
There are others, Real Steel has been mentioned as a supplier.

I made my own, was a nice project to do and transformed the car.

Interestingly the guys comments at the end mirror my own on this.
