Quife ATB Upgrade

[450Nick]

Hi chaps, my diff has started making a little bit of noise so I'm considering swapping out to a quaife ATB from my stock BTR. Does anyone on here have the details of what is involved? Is it a fairly simple swap or does it require fabrication etc?

On a slightly other track, what are they like? I am running around 400 @ the wheels and would like to keep it chuckable - will the quaife keep the progressive stable rear end feel that I current have?

Have a quaife ATB in my Griff which I much prefer to the salisbury plate type SLD.
Not sure how the Quaife ATB upgrade in the BTR differs from the one in the GKN unit, but mine only lasted 11K before going open, I'm wondering what torque the thrust washers are rated for in them as i'm also running 400 ATW?

I have the quaife in , the quaife internals we fitted by the gearbox man and it is spot on the way it works. I change the diff oil once evey two years to the type as recommended. . The quaife just fits into the the standard btr diff casing.

sent them a mail... if we can get this with a 3.23 crown/pinion, theres no reason to refurb the BTR. Qauifes have a much better system

Have to have a chat Nigel, thinking of doing this over winter with possibly a 308 ratio :scratchcin:

The Quaife will go into your BTR diff, however. Your pinion and crown (and the associated bearings) will still be the BTR's...
