A close one after The Lakes Tour !

[RS2000CUSTOM]

Set about SKC today to change to my new Tran-X 5 speed gearbox

Put hand on rear wheel and was able to turn easily whilst holding the other wheel ?????

As it is fitted with a Tran-X LSD plate diff I should not be able to do this so easy !

Decided to strip the rear axle

Found the diff gear bolts had undone allowing the LSD to "seperate" slightly relaesing the pressure off the diff plates - hence not "locking" the wheels.

Does anyone know if I can buy pre-drilled bolts so I can lock-wire them in place or do I have to buy a bolt holder and drill em myself ?

Also found this on the n/s/r driveshaft - a touch twisted

Thats what I will be doing to the diff this week Graham !

[lee bishop]

yeah dave, do a better job of wire locking though, i reckon some of those would have no trouble coming undone, even half or a full turn before the wire went tight

thats what i was thinking but didnt want to upset him

[RS2000CUSTOM]

Snapping them is easy !

But to twist em and keep em together takes skill
