Crazier than a box of frogs on acid
Oh oh oh!
:5bdrool5::5bdrool5::5bdrool5:I need one (or 2) in my life!:5bdrool5::5bdrool5::5bdrool5:
Tis a thing of absolute beauty!
Only downside is it gets hidden in an axle casing. Other than that it's a win!
Really need to save some money now!

Yeah im sorting my own casings
going to cut off the front of the casibg on the diff and make my own HD cover welded on then brackets and stuff Yeah they can definately be shortened. Dave at tornado has cut and shut his it just means shortening shafts too which is the tricky bit. Id say they'd have to be tigged in a lathe but doable
Ive got a big urge now to call ashcroft and get everything ordered but don't know if im ready for a 2k hit to my bank account

Plan is an r380 out of a td5 disco
This has a lower 1st ratio than my v8 lt77, but the same 5th ratio, which is lower than a v8 r380
I have a v8 input shaft kindly provided by the doc so I will eventually get round to building it!
Oh feck aye, I'd best get it out of the d2 then!

Now that's what I'm talking about!!!!!!
With regards to a perspex diff cover.. It could be done, that 3M stuff almost impossible to break!

Hi guys
Yeah the shafts are the problem
I wonder if you cut spline them further into the shaft and then part the end off?
Paul, gutted mate im sorry, I just finished putting it in the axle!!
There are various pics around online, with a diff fitted you can't see anything in there anyway
Go see nige/Megasquirt at Donny show, he has a few demo models cut open!
Benneh, yeah mate that's the one, but no rush, you can keep it warm for me im too poor for it just yet
Heres a picture of a complete axle for the hell of it

Not 100 % but id say the splines would be hardened so unless yoy harden the new teeth theyd probably shear preety quick.
One of my mates has cut and shut a shaft in his series with the weld near the stub so if it snpas hes not left with a stub stuck in the diff ... smart ?

what are you trying to do ?
Mr Noisy
Coming in your ears.
i want to fit an r380 box to my car,
it must be v8 fitment
i dont want a higher 5th gear than i have already, which v8 r380s do
a td5 r380 is a late box so would lilkely be in good shape, and has a lower 1st than my current lt77 which would be ideal for getting me off the line and/or crawling off road
thought it was a pretty good plan myself
