SALISBURY DIFF ON A 90

Well done Mike.
did think of having a sailsbury but since going TDi have not blown a single diff or half shaft.
DFR:
cheers for your help and advice. Doing the engine change over this weekend, will tackle the axles over the next week or so, will let you know how I get on

Longer, are you sure?
When you do a Salisbury transplant onto a Series SWB you have to SHORTEN the prop because the Salisbury has a longer nose.
I like Salisbury axles but I don't think there is anything to gain by fitting one to a 90, why not just use a 4-pinnion diff & 24-spline shafts in your existing or a disc-braked casing, that's what I've done?

sorry ill take that back,was on auto pilot,
IMHO fitting a salsbury is a sure fire way of having an unbreakable rear end,had one on my racer 90 & even after the front end had jumped out & gone home i could still continue at 97% full pace,
where as with a 4 pin & 24 spline setup you can still break them easily,ive seen many broken & not a sals broken yet :wink:
DFR:
the TDI engine and gear box and power steering has now been done, 15 hurs work over the weekend. 2 engines out and 1 in, not bad go between 2 of us.
Tea poisoning and loss of skin on the knuckles was well worth it.
If anyone needs any parts there are a few still left then let me know what you need and I will tell if I still have them
going to tackle the axles probably next week
