DB01 diff position

[Migs]

Hey guys, i was looking at the diff positioning arrangement in the db01, in the manual, it has u putting in the diff seating it low in the chassis, im just wondering if its possible or anyone has tried spinning that hex 90 deg or 180, seat the diff in a different spot if more tension is needed in the belt or something

Isn't that basicly explained in the manual. If you want more tension move the inner part more outwards instead of downwards?

You know the part where you align the dot and the triangle.

yeah im talking about the actual hex /octagon thing that the inner offset circle sits in, i want to know if u can put them in upside down and make the diff sit higher, or sideways to bring the diff further forward or backward

I don't think they'll fit that way as the bottom of the diff 'housing' and the chassis are moulded to fit together with a slight hex, the top part is a curve. It's done that way to make sure the adjustment can't slip.

Most likely you can flip them over to run the diff in the high position. This is actually a tuning option on touring cars...

I don't think you will be able to get away with running them in the forward or rearward postiion though. Maybe if your belt has one extra or one less tooth...

cool, i had a look at the manual, as far as i can tell, the octagon thing is equal lengths on each side, so my theory is now i could mount it in 8 different positions and use the internal offset circle to get the tension correct, my reason for the original question is im running 36 tooth pulleys and wasnt totally happy with the amount of tension i was getting even with the offset inner circle set to full tension, so i'd wondered if i could use the hex thing as well, im thinking i'll turn it 45 degrees, so the diff will sit low still, but further away from the cntre shaft to give me the tension i need, thanks for the help boys
