Hello fellow blatters.
I've been absolutely swamped with work lately, hence my absense from this site. Hopefully, things will calm down during next week.
While I was slaving away with my bizarre telco projects, the following things arrived at my door:
ZF 3.38 limited slip diff.
Caterham 6 speed gearbox.
Race clutch
pressure plate
lightened flywheel.
Today I got the old diff out. I had to remove both half shafts by disconnecting the hubs from the de-dion tube (after removing the brake calipers).
To create enough space to get the diff out, I had to move the de-dion tube backward by removing the front A-frame bolts, the lower suspension bolts and the forward link of the watts linkage. By a pure miracle I managed to avoid a diff oil orgy with me playing the lead.
Tomorrow I'm off to Mc Fadden Dale to get some replacement nylocks and a new set of locktite-covered bolts for the prop shaft. I will also try to chase down the apropriate oil for the ZF clutch pack. When I have all the parts I'll install the new diff.
Once that is done I'll move on forward and remove engine + gearbox in order to install the new clutch and gearbox.
I am also chasing down a smaller supercharger pulley to raise my boost to 8-9 PSI. New injectors have already been aquired.
