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.
Is it a personality disorder or a case of he just doesn't give a flying fig ?

I think he's passed into almost mythical status in the 4WD community

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

Conversely, my dealings with Jeff have all been by email and all been without swearwords!

Transcript below - start at the bottom. However I didn't end up getting the axles from him as he was never clear on how payment and postage would work.

I also bought 2xLT230 one piece cross shafts from him.

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



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.

Hi Ben,
To change the Splines in your ARB Locker from 10 - 24 Spline will cost $200.00. The Front Axles 24/23 Spline cost $650.00 the Pair. To make Front Axles for the Longfield CVs cost $750.00 the Pair.
Drive Flanges cost $250.00 the Pair.

Jeff

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
