For the price, the F9 looks like a go if you consider the cost of lockers, brake upgrades, axles, cv's etc etc... And the ability to fit other rover bits (esp in the brake dept) to keep it "std" or known.
I'd take a pair for the D2.

Im sorry, but of the Ashcroft threads I have read all talk was relevant to the topic, whether it be the Ashcroft locker (and people wanting a Sals version) or the P38 type rear diff thread and varrious ideas and opinions being posted to see a bigger picture.Quote:

Ashcroft have a fantastic reputation for customer service. If I was serious about purchasing an upgrade for any of my rover stuff, and I was capable of posting on the Internet, I would probably email, or even yet phone Ashcroft to get up to date correct info.......
Now is the OP confused and thinks the "maybe" P38 diff upgrade is a Rover type upgrade/ Or does he mean the "Force 9" which IS designed around the rover housing?
I havent seen anything posted on a whole new 3rd member for the Rover type housing, I couldnt see it making sense with everything else they already produce???
I have been wrong before though.
cheers,
Serg
If I had a spare $13000 or $14000 and wanted to build a comp truck I would most definitely slot in the Force9 setup. But I don't......
yes but we need clarification....Is it the Rover type diff? these can be built plenty strong enough (Using Ascroft locker and HD R&P, plus various brand axles and a few different brand cvs) for any LR tourer. Or is it actually the P38 type in question???
I would say looking at the OP's avatar he is talking about the P38 type.Quote:

Slunnie, Im not sure if you know already, but keith from Rovingtracks has done this already. He was contracted by the UK Mil to do some HD complete axle set ups. From my memory he used specaial made 44 housings for the front. The UK took order of his rears, but ran out of money for his front design. Ill see If I can chase up more info for you.Quote:

Seems an obvious way to go
That Force9 reminds me of a ford 9" but built for a tank!
The Force 9 was originaly based on the Ford 9 inch diff, but due to problems Ashcroft found with it, they designed their own R&P to suit their needs.Quote:

No need to be sorry serg I have put in a simple requestQuote:

I agree with you though would be good for the original poster to clarify what he means by a super diff...and if he is in fact talking about the force 9 then perhaps I will lock this thread and direct him to threads which already talk about it as there is no need to flog a dead horse.
