very neat john boy great job, hope your keeping ok.
-
any chance you can do a few photos of the job, I have a few diffs for my gt6 and I know one of them needs bearings so a few pics would be interesting. I note from mine that older diffs have a split pin to lock the nut while newer ones have a nylon locknut. don't know the thread without going out to check though.

hi ken, if memory serves me john bonnett had a similar problem and he got another part, i cant quite remember, but maybe if you contact him he can help you.

maybe fell out of his pocket as he was taking the photo!!!!

hi the ignition light glowing /shimmering at idle is ok, when the engine revs to about 1200 rpm the light should go out as the alternator is accepting a charge.

hi all, ages since i have posted, the gt6 is still ongoing but stopped for now as ive ran out of space. i am also going to retire next year and move to a bigger place with space so the resto will continue at that point. the welding is all done and it will just be the major task of building up and painting and engine sort out ... and gearbox. oh! and diff, and electrics and .... ha ha. but i am really looking forward to getting on with it. just letting you all know it and me are still here anyway. ian.

hi, i am rebuilding my gt6, i am not bothered about total origonality, i feel if i can improve it so be it. my gt6 seats are goosed, and i have ready to go in some mx5 mk1 seats. now i do also own a couple of mazdas, and i find at 5`8" the seats extremely comfortable, they are also a lot cheaper than rebuilding the gt6 seats, but its each to their own isnt it.

have you just done the conversion, was the engine running ok on the old system? so is it definitely the new system?
