I just emailed Quaife asking for clarification if the unit allowed the factory shifter to lock the t/case for a 50/50 power split.
I'll post the answer when I get it.

Geez, I've never had the misfortune to ring Jeff, but I never fail to have a chuckle when I hear about his continuing ability to win friends and influence people.Quote:

I think he's passed into almost mythical status in the 4WD community :D
If this Jeff guy is anything like my uncle, he will show no respect or intrest untill treated in the exact same manner......maybe I should give the fn'C a call :D
Conversely, my dealings with Jeff have all been by email and all been without swearwords!Quote:

The Axles etc will have to be sent separately, the money order is just for the Side Gears.

OK, no problem. What about bank transfer?
So the total will be:
$200 for the gears
$750 for 24/30 spline axles
$250 for 30spl drive flanges
= $1200 (+GST?)
I assume the axles won't fit in a post bag???
Ben.
Hi Ben,
We don't take credit cards, send us a money order with the gears and a Post Bag with your address on it so we can send it back to you.
Regards,
Jeff
Thanks Jeff,
Prices sound fine. I will pull the side gears over the easter break and send them to you next week.
I assume mastercard is fine for payment?
Ben.

Drive Flanges cost $250.00 the Pair.

Subject: Axle and side gears price?
Hi,
I have an ARB RD03. I have heard that you are able to EDM/Broach the side gears to 24 spline. Is this correct? And what is the cost?
Also, I am interested in prices for:
24/23 spline front inner axles to fit a 1987 110 county running standard
AEU2522 CVs
24/30 spline axles and 30 spline drive flanges to fit 30/30 spline longfield CVs (already have the CVs) to a 1987 110 county.
Thanks,
Ben.
I have briefly experienced the legend. I am not sure if there is some medical reason but whatever it is, it is not conducive to pleasant introductions.
Was there a previous generation that built up the business?
Just found a post on Pirate4x4 from ashcroft that says that the quaife lsd centre diff still has the ability to be locked so that sounds promising!
In his defence I have to say that I have dealt with him on several occasions and have not had any sort of a problem other than not accepting credit cards. No swearing or anything.
Quick update: Still waiting on an answer from Quaife. The Sales team is on an offsite jolly until tomorrow, lucky buggers.
Lets try and persuade Ian and Dave there's a market for an Ashcroft ATB centre diff :angel:Quote:
