Re: MY CAV 4x4
I'm in awe! Fantastic attention to detail.
I like the idea of a skid pan although I don't think it would last long here, speed bumps all over the place

Re: MY CAV 4x4
The cases flex during acceleration causing the gears inside to lift and this is when the damage occurs, these cages stop the standard weak cases from distorting and help maintain proper contact between the gears. They have been pushed to 800 bhp and 900NM without failing.

Yeah seen so many good cars eaten up by rust there so thought it was time to assist the car in shedding any water that gathers.cavalier1990 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 9:22 pm Some machine and some amount of work going into get it looking like that. Makes me wonder with my 90 or so BHP !!
I like the little fibre glass channels you made in the bulkhead corner to stop the water sitting in it, great idea that one.

We designed these ones to be stronger than the ones available over in Europe, plus making them here in the UK means no shipping and inport taxyou can purchase them from Lochaber stainless.
