Thanks. Hopefully if they are interested and get Barry (MR Engineering) to have a look at my post, he might be able to work it out without any further input from myself. If not then I would need a Salsbury carrier for a couple of days.

Bill I can leave my county at your place for as long as you would need. At present it is the just sitting around and being driven only to keep things turning.

Thanks, I might take you up on that, but I know someone who started making up a difflock of the above design, and then got lazy and bought an ARB unit. If he has still got it I might be able to photograph the bits that make up the conversion and/or make a dimensional drawing .
Unfortunately,before I can do much in that regard I've got a bit of portal refurbishing, some panel bashing and an engine change to do.
It never ends!

You're welcome to come and play anytime.
Fixed the portal yesterday. Beat the left mudguard back into some sort of shape. While the guard was off i thought I'd take advantage of the accesibility to relocate the alternator and air compressor to make space for a power steering pump, Should be mobile again in a couple of days.Might leave the engine change until after we do Ellis Track near Gladysdale in 2 weeks time. have to tidy up the ol girls appearance a bit before then though.

Hi

has anyone had experience with the Ashcroft HD Ring and Pinion. They make an 8 tooth pinion as an option to the standard 13.
Ashcroft suggest if set up correctly the extra noise the fewer gears make is minimal.
I'm having trouble trying to draw a line for my p38 diff, it's a in puma, and I have the locka, axles, and flanges waiting to be installed. I want to make it bomb proof but only the once as I have to pay to have the job done.
Some posts, not many, have me pondering on recent failures of OE ring and pinion gears.
My OE diff appears to be set up correctly and has 40K on it now, but I just don't know to go with the standard ring and pinion with the locka, or up grade to an Ashcroft 13 or 8 tooth variant.

those with mechanical knowledge, please come forward

thanks
