Sprint axle/diff assembly

#1 Post by OBJ »

Hi, does anyone know where these can be obtained or reconditioned? I have tried all the usual places but no joy. My diff feels quite rough when turning the prop manually. I have been recommended to swap the whole diff/axle assemble as swapping the diff on it's own is problematic?
Thanks for any help, Simon

How quickly do you need it done? My garage will be finished being built in about a month or so, so I may be in a position to look at it before the end of the year.
Sprintless for the first time in 35+ years. :boggle2: ... Still Sprintless.

Engines, Gearboxes, Overdrives etc. rebuilt. PM me.

Hi Paul, already tried Fitchetts - no luck.

Hi Mart, thanks for the offer, there's no desperate hurry but I have been recommended a local engineering company (Solent Gearboxes) who do diffs on classics and are going to take a look. I'll try them as not far from me.

Ian at Crucial Automatics in Titchfield has worked on my Sprint and TR6, not cheap but very good. Worth a phone call.

Mike Papworth at Coventry did the differential on my 1500 a few years ago, sound job.
