Hi all I saw a thread a little while ago about the Hardie splicer needing a bigger diff output seal i think an 8th of an inch bigger. The one problem I hav is that the brass bush is smaller.......how do i get around this???? Do i machine the flange of the output or do I enlarge the surrround to put the larger bush.........or are they usless??????? or is ther a thinner bush that will fit in it. They are off an automatic. Cheers Damon |

I've done a few over the years. You set the side cover up true in a lathe and machine it out for a Cooper S bush, they are 1/8" bigger too. and MUCH more expensive (S tax). Before doing it check how much meat is in the sidecovers- some are much thicker than others and they are the ones to use. Some of the real early ones are too thin. Automatic diff output shafts drive flanges and yokes are the same as Cooper S but the side covers are not- you want manual ones. |

or Morris 1500 diff side covers work with a very minor maching of a ridge on the inner side |

Yeah Ty but the 1500 ones are much thinner, & the need a bit more stuffing around than the std type cover,,, it`s worth it if you allready have them to play with but not worth it if you have to look around for them , then machine them & set up the diff shims for them etc etc etc,,, if you have to look around for them then may as well just look around for genuine "S" ones or the thicker std ones to machine out. I have a pair of "S" ones here if you`re keen??? 0407 135 656 Matt |

Brik nuts,,, there are efectively 2 different side cover "Castings" (early type ones i`m talking about,,, but there are also thick & thin rod change ones as well,,, so don`t anyone go arguing with me here, i`m just trying to help him identify the thickness difference) The std mini one with std mini bushes & seals,,, & then there is the thicker ones,,, those were set up for "S" type hardy spicer system & are definately thicker in the hub or boss where the bush & the seals fit,,, Now,,, some of those Thicker "Castings" were slipped through the factory & set up as std mini items, so if you`re lucky & you find some std mini final drive side covers that are way thicker than the std mini ones, then yes they can be machined out to fit the "S" bushes & seals into them,,, BUT!!!!!!! Not all (in fact very few) are thick enough & you will need to hunt around a whole heap to find the thicker ones to do the machining on them,,, DON`T try to machine the std mini Thin ones, it leaves them far to thin & weak as piss,,, If you saw both the thick & the thin type covers side by side then you will see how much difference there is,,, without a thick one to compare then you`re flying bllnd Got IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????? Ph me if you want the "S" type covers 0407 135 656 cheers Matt |
