The OBX diff fits in the front-end & I have the diff housing back in the Sporty with the half-shafts installed. But that's as far as I've gotten. I had a battle with the backlash and preload when assembling the diff. And I think much of that was caused by the magnetic base on my dial indicator being just a wee-bit unsteady. In hindsight, I should have used a long bolt with short threads as a base for the indicator, and just bolted it through one of the pumpkin's mounting holes. I also found that my "bearing press" didn't seat the bearings completely. But I also found that using a section of 1.5" PVC or ABS pipe worked perfectly for finishing that job - just tapped them down with the pipe and a rubber mallet. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> If I would have used a thin ring of 1.5" pipe with the "press", the bearings would have seated perfect on the first go... I still have to get the knuckles and hubs together, oil in the diff, and finish up the front brakes. But I think that should all go smoother, now that I've found all of the bum parts and have the replacements in hand... right?!? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> Pics will come soon...
