@FM155 - i have only need hard lines on a factory setup, how are they made up? Flexi at each end? swaged to the hardpipe?
Hopefully have a plan tomorrow what way its going..
Wow what an angry sounding little thing! That is absolutely awesome stuff!
I wish I had the ability to have something like this but I am useless on the spanner’s and finding people to take on full projects is impossible
Got an update on the Car yesteday to see how things where going in wicklow..
Geometry all done, new Rose jointed front Track rods made and mounted to eliminate all bump steer..
But still determined to try my patience - it has now ate the Diff / Bearings / the diff is so loud you can't hear the engine over it on load!!
It was build in 2015 by the best guy locally but it sat about dry for the last 5years - will have to be pulled down and check over before anymore mapping can take place
Fingers crossed some new bearings and Fresh oil will leave it useable again.
The Axle in that format should be good for around 600 lb/ft which I'm no where near.

Sitting dry should not pose any issues unless somehow the teeth actually rusted.. It'd take it to be in a fairly harsh environment for that though. If the noise is that bad, sounds like the teeth are mangled.
I had the back cover off and the teeth where not showing any sign of corrosion when i fitting the axle!
But If that is the case, thankfully its only a standard Ford Ratio so another one shouldnt be too difficult to locate or pay for!
Many years ago a friend had a Quaife built into his Cossie casing by Gardners.
By the time he'd got to Comber and a bit of diffing etc, it was already ****ed. CWP ate itself. Lash had been set far far too tight. I thought myself it was very tight to turn over at the time, but they insisted it was fine and that's how a new one should be..
Nope...it wasn't. They tried to blame the oil and would take no responsibility for it.
