It is most common that the plastic housing is throwing the towel in the diffs,get the alloy one,and the stainless steel sleeve,and you have a pretty strong lump of diff
VassilisG:how do you make the piston rods?What are they made from and how do you get them so smooth,like polished?
No 'like polished' Lars ,I polished them by metal polish paste .The material is face grinder , meddle steel but paste , made it like a mirror .
VAssilisG: does polishing standard steel also make it more resistant to corrosion ?Because I am not sure I will be able to work stainless on my lathe with my current tools.
Lars: what is the stainless steel sleeve ?I never saw the interior of an alloy FG diff yet, I would guess the stainless steel sleeve would be between the housing and the pin itlseft acting like a bearing. Would it be possible to simply modify the plastic housing to put a bearing between the housing and the pin ?
Thanks,
Frederik
