Differential shims

PostPost by: seniorchristo » Fri Sep 03, 2021 6:07 pm

Does anyone know if the conical and flat shims are available for the spider and side gears in the Elan differential?
Thanks
Chris :)

Chris,

I'd try Burtons in the east end of London. Barring that, I dunno.

Hi Roger
Thanks for the reply. Burton's doesn't list them in their catalog. I'm refreshing my 3.55 diff and measured about .030" play in side gear movement whereas my spare 3.77 has only about .010". Not sure it's a big deal but I would replace them if they were available.
