Differential Side Gears
Posted: Sun Jul 18, 2010 4:23 pm
Hi Folks,
I broke my 4/4 Differential a few weeks ago at Gurston, and although Tim Ayres has managed to source most replacement parts from the factory, it is proving difficult/impossible to source new Side Gears.
These are the gears which connect to the half shafts and they have 18 internal splines and 16 teeth.
I think they are the same on the +8 and 4/4 with 7HA Axle.
Although the same diff was used in other cars, MGB, Land Rover Defender etc, the Side Gears are not compatible with Morgans.
There does not seem to be any clear info on what axles/diffs are compatible with Morgans, its all folk lore!!.
I am aware Quaife do an LSD (but I dont have the ££LSD) and they are out of stock.
Does anyone have any of these side gears left over from a diff rebuild or upgrade?. or know where I can get some.
Best regards,
Joe Phillips
