How much?

[mfp4073]

Next year I'm hoping to swap my truetrac for a wavetrac. Any idea if it's worth putting up a 20,000 mile truetrac for sale, and if so how much?
I'm also after some door trim rubbers, the ones that run along the outside of the door at the base of the glass. The trouble is now MF have gone who would have these in stock?

Thanks in advance.

£150 each......Hells Bells!!!!!!! In that case for what they are the old ones will have to last.
There is nothing wrong with the Truetrac, other than the constant clunking at low speeds especially around the town. On the open road it's quiet.
There just seems to be so much slack in it, but it actually works fine. It would be ideal for someone to use on the drag strip, or even on track days. I hope to have a Wavetrac fitted in April, and it had better be an improvement or I will be a tad annoyed!!!!!!!!!!

If your current diff is working and has no issues....that'd be an expensive swap for no real benefit ?

Yes that is a big worry, but for me the constant clunking spoils the car.

As far as I'm aware, the Wavetrac has tighter production tolerance's than a Truetrac, together with the stub axels having better support. I'm hoping that this will reduce the clunking to a manageable level. Performance wise I can't see that there would be much difference
I intend to (finances permitting) purchase the Wavetrac from AAS in Newcastle. If anybody can get a deal on a Wavetrac that's the place to go. Hopefully I will find out the cost after Christmas.
My car is off the road until April in any case so I'm fixing up a few low cost jobs first.
On a different topic, I have a stainless steel fuel line to replace the rubber one at the rear of the passenger side cylinder block, (the one that sometimes rubs through....and destroys the entire car! ) any idea where to get the tool to separate the fuel line?

I'll send you mine if I can find it, but I don't think they're expensive. I might need an email reminder! I think I got it from summit, but might just have been eBay.

Thank you that's a very kind offer, but I'll get AAS to get me one as they deal with Summit Racing all the time.

Regards John

That looks like the one, thanks Mud.

The LH window mouldings (92093580) are still available. I got some last week for £80 each. They were showing 16 more in the UK at the time. The RH (92093578) aren’t available anywhere (including Aus and US) as far as I can tell. Looking at the part it should be possible to make a close enough approximation of the RH part from a LH part.

Thanks JimV8, I will look into that.
This looks like a good candidate for the after market to make a replacement part.

My Monaro is at AAS in Newcastle getting a Wavetrack fitted, apparently when the dif oil was drained it had metal particles in it !!!!!!!!!!

I remember you mentioning the diff issues when you took me out in your car a while back John.

I'm sure Stu and the boys will get it sorted. All the best

A blast from the past !!!!!!, good to hear from you, I hope you're Jag is still going well.
I will be picking my car up next week, fingers crossed its finally sorted? ........then I need to service the brakes. It's going to be an expensive year. Happy days.......

I picked up my Monaro from AAS today, having had a Wavetrac and a Pedders diff insert fitted. My Monaro now drives like a different car, and no more clunking and clanking around town.
So a big thankyou to Stuart and his team for sorting out this long standing issue I've had with my car. I would highly recommend a Wavetrc and especially AAS to fit it.
