SV diff handed ?

[sunbeam]

Hi,

Having just rebuilt my SV diff, It decided to undo itself during it's 9th race.

The diff was properly built with all new balls, cone washers, thrust plates, bolt and cer clip (put in the right way, sharp edge facing against the groove and streched a little for a tight fit). I also thread locked the grub screw.

I've had the SV from new about 4 months and the original diff build lasted almost all that time. It worked itself loose eventually, hense the rebuild.

I think the grub screw last time was on the motor side, and this time it WAS on the motor side.

Is this diff handed ???

Should I thread lock the bolt AS WELL as the grub screw ???

Thanks for any help .

no its not handed, thats why the grub screws there, tighten the grub screw against the diff screw using two drivers, if that makes sense to ya
PS never ever had one come loose on use in 2 years racing and never ever used thread lock.

Hi,

Thanks for that, but I did do it up like you said. I must be doing something wrong

As carl said he is spot on if you keep the diff screw held and tighten the grub screw against it you should be good to go i had probs with mine till i done it his way

then your building it wrong or not tightening it up properly, or you have a defective part in your build
