O2M LSD, not Quaife or Peloquin;)

[Willie]

Yup will be interesting to see what these are priced at from the UK.
There are a few stockists in UK, dunno how long it will be till they get these once there done
If the price is different then a purchase for the USA will be done

 

[ibizacupra]

Anyone wanting a diff for an O2M gear box, that have not already bought one, hold your horses. There is a very interesting sounding one about to be completed very soon in the god dam US of A.

Selling at $695, yup thats $695 US dollars......Interested???

Sounds like another option but unless you can find someone to fit it cheap wont it work out near enough the same price as one fitted from Jabba?AmD?

Your thoughts, Bill?

Same price but what seems to fit the bill better with better results.

 

[DPJ]

In my mind, this should be about the best diff for the job, not a price issue.

By the time you've got the thing imported and fitted, the price difference becomes marginal.

I don't see any point in getting too excited until they've produced the thing and sorted early production backlogs.

 

[Willie]

Come on Dave, its exciting

Your no fun

I only meant there's little point in badgering potential suppliers yet.

Ha Ha only joking ma man

I'm excited anyway.
But as you said, these aren't even made yet, just keeping the masses informed

They do one already for the O2J

Sober as a court judge! Must be a momentary flash of alertness - no doubt it will fade quickly

Will be interested to see what price these come in at though ....... whilst i have no plans to go BT this would be an interesting handling addition - assuming I don't turn to the pansy fuel side

............ assuming I don't turn to the pansy fuel side

Do lumberjacks' chainsaws run on diesel?

Well do they?




Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. The Giant Redwood. The Larch. The Fir! The mighty Scots Pine! The lofty flowering Cherry! The plucky little Apsen! The limping Roo tree of Nigeria. The towering Wattle of Aldershot!................

Your thoughts, Bill?

I would run one in favour of quaife or peloquin personally.
preloaded more than torque biasing diff alone.

I think this is enough for everyone to start to consider this over other set ups, Bills seal of approval speaks volumes

With that in mind, wouldn't a proper plate diff be even better? These torque biasing diffs are not popular at all in proper motorsport, plated diffs are a much better option as they can be adjusted for tightness, slip, ramp angles, etc.

Most people on here that are thinking about diffs will use these for mostly road driving. also wanta fit and forget system that doesn't need adjusting or servicing.
This diff would be the best to cover all sides

aside from the fact you will have to service them....
road use, atb diffs, or the new wavetrac arb with its preloading will be fit and forget units.

badgerwagen runs plated diff. it will also need to have it checked and adjusted from time to time... ker_ching ££

 

[FR+TDI]

I agree to a point, espacially if it is used in a motorsport application, but for road use you certainly wouldnt want a plate diff set up to say 90% so it would be set up much slacker, about 45% and not wearing much at all thus not needing much servicing - perhaps a check over after 50k miles, not such an issue then.
I once bought a Corolla Coupe AE86 for road rallies, it had done 160k miles so I took the diff out to check it, the wear was minimal, I just added 5 thou shim plate either side to increase the pressure & it was perfect - after 160k & 27 owners!!! But I suppose it was Japanese!!!
