More paint

Still more paint today, I noticed my front diff has a bit of wire holding the hook things in while the back diff doesn't
Attachment 126887 Attachment 126888
Is this anything to be concerned about?
Cheers Paul
The wire lock gets a special mention in the manual, so I would think it is something to worry about. You really do not want these coming loose in service - that would really spoil your day!

Egyptian hieroglyphics above formula mean after I quizzed manager "mixed by eye"............happy with colour but[bigsmile1]

The manual details the requirement to install lockwire to secure the "hook thing" and the cap bolts. If any of these move, they could enable the bearing adjuster to move. This would be likely to result in initially a noisy diff as the accuracy of mesh needed for silence is lost, probably soon followed by a broken crown wheel and/or bearing failure with further movement.Quote:

Front Diff is as manual......... rear diff has no holes in bolts or hook thing for wire, I'm confused both diffs are apparently interchangeable, was wire superseded and I have diffs from two different eras.
Or is rear diff a cheap knock off copy.............long bow here ......but I feel I like the belt and braces wire better than no wire.
Cheers Paul
It is quite possible that later diffs, such as Series 3, which are interchangeable, specified the use of threadlocker instead of wire. Although I don't see how that would lock the "hook". I don't have a Series 3 manual though.
Had a bit of a look at my brake booster today........... the diaphragms are like new but the sponge filter behind the perforated disk (that I assume is an air intake) has become powder it looks like a serviceable item with an easily removed retaining clip. Will see if I can find one on line or try to make one.

Getting to the smaller diaphragm below this all 4 Phillips set screws sheared [bigsad] so I will have to work out some fix
