tkm_dave Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 After two diffs I bought have ended up unusable in the short term, has anyone got a Sierra 7" 3.6, 3.3 or 3.1 LSD I could beg, borrow or rent? Can collect or arrange UPS to collect, need it for Friday this week though Quote
mark.anson Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 If you find a 3.1 buy a lottery ticket while your at it. ! Hens teeth. Quote
phelpsa Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 There was a 3.62 on locostbuilders recently Dave. Edit: it was a 7.5" 3.64. Ignore me! Quote
Paul Morcom Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Hi Dave. I have a 7" 3.62 diff that I could sell. It's as new and has a quaife atb. Did about half a season and then went into my spares store as I changed to a 4.1. It's the pushy in drive shafts version. It's not cheap and would have collect from Cirencester area on Wednesday or Thursday evening. Or during the day on Thursday or Friday from near Wallingford. Paul Quote
tkm_dave Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 Cheers for the offer Paul, I have a Quaife unit and modified some Lobros to suit so I'm hoping to get that built, but after buying two duff 3.6 donors it's now looking tricky to get it sorted in time for the weekend. I'd like not to be at a disadvantage at Aintree but couldn't stretch to buying a high spec diff outright unfortunately. Shouldn't be a problem to find someone who'll take it off your hands though Quote
B.RAD Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Have you tried Mark at bearingkits.co.uk? He quite often has a good stock Quote
tkm_dave Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 Cheers Barny. I don't have the funds to buy one outright, I've already got the components to build one, just not the time so looking for a temporary sticking plaster. Quote
B.RAD Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Are the crown wheel and pinion replaceable on the Sierra diff? He had a 4.1 English cronwheel and pinion that I bought for £150, so if they're replaceable he may have the bits! Quote
Kevin Jones Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I have a 3.3 7.5" LSD that you could borrow, if you can get a courier to my work it might be possible to ship or I will be at Aintree as well (but not driving) so could also just bring along if you don't find a 7". Quote
tkm_dave Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 They are replaceable but Sierra crownwheel and pinion are generally about 2-3 times the price of English internals for ratios other than 3.6 or 3.9. Quote
tkm_dave Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks for the offer Kev, will keep it in mind, very kind of you. Currently got a 3.38 loan LSD pencilled in to arrive on Thursday courtesy of another very lovely member!! 1 Quote
