Have a look at the bolt holes on your shock absorbers mate. Measure the distance between the bolt hole and the edge of the flange. Check that they're both the same each side.
It seems to be a bit hit and miss with new dampers as to whether the hub mounting holes are drilled to suit cups or ff...
With sticky tyres on my cup and full epas assistance I'd say you actually get less assistance than the hydraulic pas supplies. That's with a looped rack though. Maybe different if using the epas rack.
Everyone has different expectations of what should feel right to them. Take brakes for...
In terms of the power output that your engines are making there's no real advantage that I can see from either setup tbh mate. The return line system just makes it easier to install a swirl pot if and when the time comes. The return line system comes into its own on fuel hungry boost buses as it...
Yep so was this mate. Hi flow in tank pump to the swirl pot and originally a -6 feed to the 044. -10 in this picture. Because it used to starve the pump.
@Mini182 not wishing to piss on your chips, but the -6 feed from your swirl pot to the 044 ain't big enough. You need a -10 feed in to it as they flow more fuel than the -6 can supply. It'll starve the pump otherwise. Been there done that.
Your looking at about £1030 mate all in. Like I say - pricey.
What info you after for the jc5 mate? In stripping down terms they're a bit of a t**t tbh! Splitting the casings to get access to the diff/gears is awkward, oh and they wear the coupling teeth on the gear rather than the synchro itself!
@nath&alex - Here's one I made earlier. Lol! Didn't know I'd got one on my phone. See the 2 half moons? They're the ball bearings I'm on about. Then it's just a bit of loctite and a press = job done.
What areas in particular mate? Quaife or the torsen? I've no experience of the torsen diffs at all, but the quaifes require the crownwheel/diff machining to effectively lock the crownwheel to each other. It's a half and half job, so 50% of the ball bearing is in the crownwheel and the other 50...
Just to clarify my above statement regards the cheaper materials, I'm not meaning to a lesser spec, I'm meaning in terms of material cost to purchase. It's a large billet that's needed to manufacture a jc5 diff.
To do that kind of job you need to run the cables in some corrugated cable protector type stuff mate. Then it's just a case of extending each and every single wire that won't go the route you want it to go. Quite a simple straightforward job to do tbh unless you've got any shielded wires running...
