B.RAD Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Cheers Dave, Julian - I'll give Steve a call tomorrow. Already raided his collection once! Thanks also Phil, it's an english alloy casing (live axle) that I need - if you've got one, let me know. If anyone else happens to have one kicking about that they would like to see put to good use, please let me know! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 i still can't believe you sold the mighty cross flow BCF….. I'm in mourning and having counselling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 You and me both! It's all gone now, even the engine mounts They went to a good home though, along with the twin carbs, hi-torque starter and exhaust manifold. They'll be showing the Nurburgring how a real mighty motor goes in a couple of weeks!!! Gone but not forgotten I'm sure I'll be back in something crossflow powered again one day, but for now I'm ploughing on with the awesome XE Back on topic, it's one of these I need please: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 apologies for the thread drift young Barney - may the XE and its new diff be more than mighty :-) good luck with your quest for the diff carrier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue ass fly Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Theres a new one on ebay Expensive though !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks Steve, yeah I've seen that one, the seller is off their rocker. Burton sell them for £390, so for eBay to be more expensive means there's a problem! Cheapest (new) I've found is £290 + vat, which is a lot of money. Still searching so if anyone has something, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Bump - can anyone please help me out before I have to shell out (and die a bit inside) for a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue ass fly Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Whats wrong with your current one Or is it cast and your shedding weight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yep, pure weight saving I'm afraid, there's a good 5kg difference in them. I'm aiming to only have to do this once (hah!) so hence doing it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLADDIN Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 5 kg of strength maybe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yep that's a possibility Mike, but I think those are pretty well quashed rumours now. The current ones are made from pretty robust alloy so fingers crossed that won't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
