  1. This is amazing, I have searched everywhere but cannot obtain this information, I have managed to get part numbers but not spring rates. Even Spax cannot be sure.
  2. Could anyone tell me the spring rates of the standard RED SPAX springs fitted to a 1995> De Dion fitted with M74 G818 on the rear and M74 G775 on the front please? TIA Guy
  3. Planning on removing the interior panels for a similar reason, simple question, when removing the rivets is there any issues with the remainer of the old rivet just ratling inside the frame, is there any way around this? Pedro Spray some Waxoil through the holes, that seems to hold the rivets.
  4. Thank you for the advice 2GBR, however I am a bit confussed as to the "large flat washer" you refere to. I have three 7" diffs here and none of them have washers below the flange nut, they all have flange nuts and no washers?
  5. Thanks 2GBR I think Wurth Silicone Special 250 Red would do it, as I said there is no excessive wear that I can detect & it has not been leaking, I just thought it would be a good precution to take.
  6. No there is no excessive wear, I just thought it was good practice to seal the splines. The driveshaft splines are within the oil seals so there is no need to seal those besides they are constantly sliding in & out, however on the input from the prop shaft, the splines run right through the flange to the nut, therefore oil can seep along the splines.
  7. Sorry I should have been more specific, I have the diff out and it is the prop shaft flange & oil seal that I am replacing. When I removed the old flange (R&R rebuild) there was a lot of grey sealant on the splines, that's what leads me to think it is Loctite 620 or 660.
  8. Try as I might I cannot find anything about this using the search. I am replacing the diff flange and oil seal on a Seirra diff and remember reading that you should seal the spines to prevent any leaks, but I cannot remember which sealant to use. looking at the Loctite web site it looks like is should be either 620 or 660, does anyone know? Thanks.
  9. Cable tie it on the chassis rail above the primaries, because it dosen't work very well when it's cold.
  10. Charles I have used http://www.bearingkits.co.uk/FORD-GEARBOX-PARTS/C1-1-0.htm in the past, good service and very knowledgable.
  11. Now sold but no thanks to people who say they will buy something from you, ask you to store it for them for 6 MONTHS and then they tell you that they have "chaged their mind" and let you down A 'real' mans word is his bond
  12. Sorry Mark, Jerry Auton beat you to it (in 1 minute) it's obviously too cheap
  13. I need to make space in the garage and I have too many jacks, therefore I have for sale an aluminium trolley jack from the Norman Verona bulk buy. It’s complete but does have a few scratches as one would expect with this type of equipment. I have recently changed the seals, oil and the rubber jack pad, works really well and the 'quick lift' raises it to it's maximum height in 3 pumps. It comes complete with a spare set of seals and fitting instructions. £30 cash on collection please or I can send to any UK mainland destination (excluding Scottish Highlands) for an additional £15 with payment by PayPal (Relatives gift payment please). The jack is in GU15, I could deliver to certain Surrey/West London areas along the M3 corridor. Guy
  14. Craig I used M3 rivnuts & 6mm dome head allen bolts.
  15. If it's a pair, I will take the bearing dust covers please. Blatmail sent Cheers Guy

  19. I am surprised I can still post after the "CAT FLAP" episode
  20. Ah . . . . . . That is what I am trying to establish, thank you ECR
  21. Thanks chaps, that seems to bear out the little bit of info I have been able to find in the archives of TechTalk, the only difference being some people put vvv after the 906. Cheers
