Get your diff rebuilt with an uprated VC by Bara

Pm Marco for details

hi rich


what ever you do dont weld the fooker dont be a mug mate it horrible to drive not only that going around sharp corners it will skip like fook .. reversing it will be a pain in the ass and do your head in

ill gaurentee you will want to take it out

you have a few choices

you can either go

uprated planet gears with uprated VC to 240Nm on standard VC plates

which is about 10 times more preload on than standard (when it was brand new)

ATB this will do away with the planet gears

Gripper plated this will also do away with the planet gears

R n D plated this will also do away with the planet gears

all these still use the standard CWP

the weak point will be the CWP

9" diff V.C 3. brand new

9" diff platet brand new


the 7.5 uprated VC with the uprated planet gears is the cheapest option

less that 1/2 price against the plated or atb

so the choice is your mate


cheers marco

Hi Rich

i have a gripper plated diff in mine only because at the time there was no one that did uprated planet gears

i broke planet gears on the 1/4 mile yrs ago and thought fook that never agian so looked for something else i wasn't just going to fit another standard diff




In 9yrs i have only ever changed one set of plates but i do have it service once a yr after it;s been track/road days abuse

haven't had it looked at in a few yrs because it has not done nothing only laying around tunners yards
