1993 Chimaera differential seals, help.
Discussion
I'm looking for pretty much all seals from front to back.
Gearbox I believe is the SD1 LT77 which I can get seals for but also looking for final drive out of box seals (if it doesn't come with the box kit), diff seals and drive shaft seals but I can't find them. Can someone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Colin

Phoned but unfortunately nobody answered so I emailed and got this.Hi Colin
The SDI parts you can purchase off Ebay but the seal & parts for the GKN are dealer only, I do-not sell I only supply to my customers repairs..

Seeing what poor shape my diff was in at less than 40K miles, I'd have a full check over by Reidy.Hi Colin

Thanks for the link. That's the most info. I have seen on the early diff, it's i pitty they don't show the workings of the sensitork component (which I figure is what our cars use) but still good info cheers.http://tvr.dspen.com/GKN-Diff/alfieri155-3.htm?mms...
Re. The rear gasket I don't see why you can't delete it and simply use a goog quality silicon sealer or locktite master gasket?
A lot of modern vehicles just use silicon in this situation especially if the cover is dowelled on (as I think ours should be because it mounts from there)
