Fitting a gripper diff...

[minto]

Any recommendations for someone to fit a gripper diff into my gearbox, as Corby say they are too busy to offer this service anymore. Anywhere close to Glasgow would be a bonus.
Cheers.

Dave mac propshafts will supply and fit, or Agency transmissions will fit if you already have the diff.

Neither are very close to Glasgow, but you could get it couriered on a pallet.

Dave Mac did the refurb on my Gripper'd box. As said though, not exactly close to Glasgow.

@Djw John may know someone.

There's a place in East Kilbride that do gearbox refurbs but I can't remember their name. Sorry!

If using the standard Clio crown wheel an adaptor needs to be purchased and welded to it, most gearbox companies remove the standard diff and post both the new Gripper, the original diff and if the have already purchased it the adaptor, back to Dave Mac/Gripper Diffs, getting the crown wheel removed, adaptor welded and then posted back to who every is doing the job.
Same sort of thing with the Quaife except an adaptor is not needed.
Crown wheel removal and refitting is not and easy job as in original form they are an interferance fit.

THE Dave mac/Gripper diffs lads arn't doing fitting anymore. I've just ordered my diff and cwp this week and asked about them fitting it. In the end just stuck the gbox on a pallet and sent it to agency transmissions.

They have had a few issues I know of so maybe just supply and not fitting and putting mistakes right might save them some money
