Re: Differential Failure

Diff back in the car and ran it for 20 miles. The old diff had been hard to remove from the car but the new casing must be fractionally larger than the original as there was no way it was going back in until if jacked the bottom chassis down about 1 mm.
No noise at all and no leaks so it looks like I have assembled it correctly . There have been comments about whine from the Burton replacement crown wheels and pinions but I certainly don't have any.
Lotus 2015 national meeting and track day next weekend, this should run it in completely. I will change the oil after that and it will be ready for my next race meeting early November.
cheers
