    Default Diff fabrication.

    Hi all, a new member here. I mainly joined for the hercus section but I'm open to learning other stuff I tinker with custom 4x4's and thought I would show one of the custom diffs I make to suit Suzukis. The main reason I do this is to mix and mach axles and different widths to suit the requirements.


    The concept.....





    The work.....





    The front A-frame for the suspension...

    Hey Aussie Joe, you certainly know how to make a first impression... and probably a few people quite envious. Welcome aboard.

    Love your work!!

    Bring on more pics.

    Ok you got my attention

    Definetely looks the goods. Makes my welding look a bit ordinary.

    I will never be the person who has everything, not when someone keeps inventing so much cool new stuff to buy.

    From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".

    Thanks for all the comments guys. Trailer building is something I'm yet to try (Suzuki's don't tow so well). These diffs are just used with zook engines, though I do have a Toyota 4.0 litre V8 powered Daihatsu Rocky in the shed! I tinker with custom building drivelines to whatever the spec might be......and it keeps me out of trouble.

    I also make some custom t/cases so we can run twin transfers. Here are some pics.








    Reducing the length of the box by half.


    New shift housing.

    a new flange needs to be made, consists of a 'blank' and a broached 33 spline shaft.






    New output shaft hase been made. The welded spline section has four keyways as well as the weld holding it together. It is the sent off to be hardened.




    New seal housings before and after tigging.
