Swapping diff crown wheel and pinion


TRev

Recommended Posts

Hi All

I have pulled the diff from my Spitfire to find its from a Herald 13/60 (GE series), does anybody know if the crown wheel and pinion from a DM series (ie. 1500 Dolly) is a straight swap? This will change the ratio to something a little better I hope.

Thanks
Trevor

I don't think so :-/
It would be much easier to get the correct diff from another spitfire.......see:

and if you look at the parts listings you will also see some of the bearings are different as well...

Hi Clive
Thanks for the info, I was unsure as some websites put both diffs in the same group. Anyway will find out for sure as having the diff reconditioned. Unfortunately here in NZ (clear blue sky, light breeze, 25 C  ;D) later spitfire diffs are not easy to find but heralds were.
Thanks
Trevor
