Looking for a BTR cone diff from a Chim/Griff/Cerb!
Discussion
Does anyone have a spare they would be willing to sell me? I'm really after just the casing and output shafts so the internals can be crap if need be as I have a new LSD to go inside but have no donor. Any help would be very much appreciated!

No, T cars used hydratrak diffs which won't work for this purpose. Found one now though so I'm all good I think!
Steve: No not got any mounts either and I don't expect you'll find any from what I've heard. We're just going to make some on the car, maybe add a bit more strength while we're at it so it doesn't go anywhere...

Yes if you can get a few sets made then I'm sure there would be a market for them as there are no more new ones for sale anywhere as far as I'm aware. I'd definitely be interested in a set.

I may be in the market for some front wishbones soon as well as mine runs some custom made ones from the Swedes which look great and very strong, but Steve has concerns over the amount of castor achievable with them as they're equal length so you can't achieve much offset against the bottom ones. Might be easier just to stick on some standard ones...
I'm also very much looking forward to seeing mine out! Got some proofs back of the car from the graphics guy the other day - shameless showing off but I think it looks pretty awesome and will be over the moon if it looks half as good in the flesh!

Right will see what the fabricator bloke says....I may be in the market for some front wishbones soon as well as mine runs some custom made ones from the Swedes which look great and very strong, but Steve has concerns over the amount of castor achievable with them as they're equal length so you can't achieve much offset against the bottom ones.

Stop showing me yellow Tuscans.....was tempted that way....but Ginny thinks we should go flor purple....

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh...got a couple of spare top wishbones plus other stuff....got any front steering arms?
Anyway glad you are nearing the end of the build...cracking job!

Haha thanks! Sorry but you can't get enough Tuscan porn really... I'd go for purple - very nearly did myself and I think its looks great, also I can think of 4 yellow Tuscans off the top of my head so they're common as muck at the moment! It will be a beast, but I fear not beastly enough now class A+ exists - think we'll need a 7L LS monster to do justice. We'll start with baby steps though and see how it goes :-)Stop showing me yellow Tuscans.....was tempted that way....but Ginny thinks we should go flor purple....
