Yay, i also just picked up all the rest of my stuff so will be fitting the rest of the diff this weekend.
Will be waiting on braided brake lines and brakets before she rolls!
Best part, cost 250$ less than i was thinking

In this pic, you see the metal was removed directly opposite to the handbrake knob, where the HB passes through.Originally Posted by infotechplus
The machinist has removed metal from the wrong side on one of my backing plates, now removing the metal from the otherside and fixing his mistake is the only way to make this backing plate still useful.
Can anyone see any engineering issues with this? Not having all that meat bolted down, rather a smaller amount with a good solid weld?

Jase
You should be okay.

I'd say you'd be fine but check with a local engineer first. If it comes down to it, the machinist stuffed up and you have the right to ask for the backing plate to be replaced.

Nah ill take this on the chin if it cant be done safely cause he's more a metal fabricator and only does car stuff when asked. Its not what he actauly deals with first hand!
See most ppl come in with blue prints and designs and measurements and photos and digital designs of what its supposed to look like, where as i went in with the parts, picked up a scrap peice of metal and drew what he was supposed to do in the dust
Ill talk to a engineer and see what they say, get him to cut and than weld around the whole diameter of the centre nut, that'd be sweet surely!

OK everybody who is interested in the MA70 caliper brackets:
I have five sets of brackets in my possession.
The following have expressed interest in a set ...
- bigmat
- smokey228
- sleeper (in San Diego )
- deelux
That's 4 out of the 5 sets. If there is anyone else that I may have missed please contact me immediately as I don't want to have a situation where I send out a set and there is someone who has been expressing interest for some time (at least since the last batch went out).
I'd like to hear from the above and anyone else via PM with address and payment details. Obviously if these four are GO then I only have one set left so first in best dressed etc.

One more thing before i stop harrasing you guys for your brain juice!
The bearings!? Im so so lost. This is what i assume im supposed to do.
Sit the circlip into the diff housing, then in goes the retainer, than the cup which is already matted upto the backing plate and has the bearing squished inside goes on and bolts up..? Than the axles slide through grab hold of the other stuff?
Or is it supposed to be some other way im yet to thinking about, that ill probably try when this fails me
Cheers,
Jase
No, that sounds right to me. I've just looked through this thread (gee, it seems like a long time go now) and I vaguely remember that being the correct order. I know you slide the axle out after removing the hub and everything else remains bolted up.Originally Posted by Smokey228

Last night i tried to leave the snap ring in the housing and it would have just slid straight down into the diff.
So do i put it on the axle and try to force it through the bearing and retainer? Will it compact down under pressure and pass through?
I did try this, but didnt want to put to much forces against it, a couple decent taps with a hammer but nothing more...
Cheers,
Jase
Sh*t. The Alzheimer's is kicking in here. I know the snap ring has to go on the axle but in what order, I don't remember. I'd have to pull all my rear end out to jog my memory and as much as I'd love to help you I can't do that with any urgency. I know we slid the snap ring over the end of the axle and then just pushed it into its little groove.Originally Posted by Smokey228
I don't remember having this trouble. Everything came apart and went back together logically. When I took the bits to my friends at Western Brake & Steering they fitted the new bearing kit, the snap ring and seals. I took it home and slid everything back in.
Gee, I wish I could help you further. And I know saying it isn't hard is not helping you any.
Rule of thumb here (that I always work by) - take it apart carefully, note where everything goes, keep everything together, easy refit. Sorry I'm not meaning to sound like a smarta#se. Surely there's someone else done this. Guys?

Peter

Yeh the downside is i pulled the whole drum and axle out in one cause i was in a rush and the machinist took em apart for me...
Jase
Unfortunately it's been 2 yrs since I replaced my oil seals and I checked my manual and it doesn't mention a snap ring. Perhaps if you can post some picks of the parts it might help to jog my memory.
Cheers
