| Post subject: | Diff output shaft lateral float - remote gearbox |
Hi guys, Does anyone happen to know how much lateral float the output shafts (Hardie Spicer) from the diff should have. I have just upgraded the diff centre with a cross pin diff and used a slightly thicker fibre shim on both sides to close up the lateral movement in the gear and output shaft. There is a few thou movement in the shafts now but wanted to ensure that there shouldn't be more or if there is a specific clearance. When I disassembled the old diff the fibre washer was in pieces so I don't have benchmark for what it should be. Any advice would be appreciated. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

If it spins with a few thou clearance it is fine. Early boxes up to 1969? used bronze washers there, they don't break up like the fibre ones do. If ya find em, grab em. |

Thanks Doc Can they be bought new or would you have to rob an old box? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Never seen em new, since the 70s. Pretty sure all the old 3 synchro boxes had the bronze washers. John Smidt might have some s/h ones, ring and check. |
