Fitted new outdrives to mine last week and running at talywain today with them started having problems with front diff coming loose!

The diff was built exactly the same as i do with the old outdrives, however i found that the first run after building diff it was fine, it was the 2nd run after i had adjusted diff it came loose! This happened a few times, rebuilt diff fine, asjusted it came loose!

But also to add to the issue of the c clip afte the above i basically locked up the diff, no diff balls, no thurst washer and it still came loose!

Although with some calipers comparing the new and old ones, the internal diameter on the female side where thrust washer sits it slightly smaller than the old ones, so i can only suggest that the plates that go round thust washer is binding on the outdrive causing it to loosen the screw!
