Back Axle

[MaddMart]

My Triumph 2000 back axle has just turned up. Another job for easter week, after doing all the brake discs & pads on the S2000. I haven't had chance to check the ratios but fingers crossed...<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :b --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":b"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Is it a 3.89 or 4.1 then?<br>

ooer! sorry Mr. Smifter, I didn't realise it was a secret. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... rassed.gif ALT=":o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Are you thinking of buying up all the spare ones or something. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Anyway, what's wrong with having IRS on a Sprint.

Wrong? Nothing in theory. Often pondered the possibility over a beer or three which is about as close to trying it as I'm likely to get. The bits are just so light compared to the sprint anchor.<br>
<br>
I nearly bought a quiet 3.45 2000 diff to rob the CW&P as both mine are noisy. I just get the feeling that even though it was quiet under the barge it might be noisy once disturbed by the transfer to the sprint axle.<br>

Got to make some cash somehow Mart no that some bugger stole my topless carwash idea!!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.autotrader.co.uk/CARS/news/n ... dbid=32797" target="top">Babes 'n' Bubbles</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br>

You know I'm messing with ya!<br>
<br>
Might as well say it now - most 2000's are fitted with 4.11:1 diffs, and the diff assembly will bolt straight into a Sprint Axle no problems (I've just done mine Albiet with a Phantom Grip Limited Slip Unit shoved in).<br>
<br>
Back to the Topless carwash - I wonder how they'd cope with an Ariel Atom?

As I hinted above, a halfway house might be 3.7, as found in autos.<br>

I've now put the 4.1:1 cw&p in and thanks to Rimmers speedy delivery, the cover gaskets i ordered yesterday turned up this morning so I could finish the job off. I refilled the diff. with the correct LSD oil, bought from Mark at Jigsaw the last time I was up there, & took it for a test drive. It seemed a bit quieter so maybe I did have a bit of a whine before. All seemed to work ok but I didn't rant it as it was raining...power + LSD + bicycle tyres = ditch. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Thought the rear suspension design on the 2000s was terrible? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START : --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->
