Gt6s

The 2.6 has not actually done one as it is a 3.63 (strongest CWP) and a Quaife even survives mad donuts and general hooligan antics. Done in a few 3.27's quite a few 3.63's and 3.89's. So I have done my testing. I could break an anvil. Power ? Don't know but quite a bit. But never rolling roaded. 0-60 4.7 (Performance meter and ecu log). At 140 (easy) she is still pulling like a train and busting for another cog @ 5800 rpm (shift light lit) 24 mph per 1000 rpm, oversize OD and oversize tyres. Some years back at work I was doing my morning ritual donuts in the back yard. ( gave up that work thing because I decided I did not like it ) My boss magically appeared out of the dense tyre smoke cloud and shouted Laurence would you kindly refrain from doing that ?   I think that is what he said 😎   Laurence

You slip the diff in at an angle. Side away from the crown first, with outer cage and shims positioned against the rollers the crown wheel side you use outer cage and shims as a ramp. It can be done real easy once you get the technique. Done this many many times. Try to fit the unit in straight you will need the Churchill. Laurence

Destroyed quite a few. Acting the maggot. Defective nut behind the wheel.   Laurence

 

SOOOO easy, stuff a bar in and pull.   Laurence

Nothing to be scared of in them.   Laurence

Many years ago I had BIG problems with tail lamp plugs and sockets on a Mk 2 Avenger. Copper grease into the terminal holes of the sockets PROBLEM SORTED ! Yes copper grease will work. Laurence

Try calling Revington TR If no luck there probably forget it.   Laurence

One of the guys in my old TSSC area has stainless on a Spitfire and to be honest they do look good. Just not quite as shiny as good chrome but perfectly okay. Laurence

      I have an evilbay  hydraulic crimp tool cost about £20. Works great. 

My EFI car runs a 2600 with a pretty wild "sprint" cam, comes on at 4 runs to 7. The box is 2500 S with competition 28% J type OD. Diff nor saloon box have ever given issues. Having said that diff is 3.63 with Quaife. I gave up on stock components many years ago. 3.27 diffs IN PARTICULAR ! Driven without mercy. Laurence

You can use a big T calliper with Gt6 discs on Spit VL stub axle / hubs. Gt6 Vitesse are different spacing to Spit. Laurence

Yeah looks like series 1 are 3/8 UNF. later ones use 7/16 UNF Well I do remember being wrong once before. Laurence

Nearly certain Nick is correct (as usual) about the pipe fitting. Laurence

I was actually contemplating making up battery / earth leads using proper crimp battery terminals, proper braid earth, all crimped lugs using superior 25mm welding cable for Triumphs. I have the hex crimper and can get the stuff easy. Also can be made specific spec to order. Is there a market ? Laurence

Instead of Demon thieves try ringing JJC race and rally. Which is Demon Thieves under another name but no shop ( from same stock ). From experience can be negotiated with on prices. Laurence

Buy a solar powered trickle charger for overnight use.   Actually to hell with the purists. Fit an alternator. Laurence

Actually thinking about it I have the feeling I only used one relay on it wired to self latch. Long time ago I did it. Laurence

Indeed Roger I had two warning lamps one (ready to drop out) the other (stay in on change) I did intend to wire in a clutch pedal switch to it as well but I never got round to that. Darren I used the two relays wired to self latch the OD switches provided the switching as they disconnect on change through neutral (Saloon box) Laurence

I made one for my old Sixfire. done with two relays. Laurence

Overlap at TDC. The easy way !!!! Laurence

Someone has dropped that block and knocked a chunk out NOT IN THE FACTORY. It will be fine. Laurence

Yeah the old ones were 1/4 UNF. Laurence

You could always cold weld it. Personally I would do it with nickel steel rods. Laurence

It was Bob Rowland who was getting them made. At least it was him selling those anyway. Can be looked up by name on Facebook. Laurence
