Default I need dead diff washers.

Hi,

Does anybody have any old flattened Schumacher diff 'spring washers' that I can have. I want to have a 'play' with them. I'm happy to pay postage.

Thanks.

Thing is Pete, that 69 people had read this post with no reply at the point of my last post.

I find on forums that a question is sometimes not replied to (and will never be) until I say someing extra. Then you get all the replies kicking in straight away with a range of 'poster bashing'.

Then from that, you get some helpful replies, and you get the answers you wanted

What happens is the washers get weak and the diff slips, then you nip them up a little and they go weak again, then nip them up and all the spring has gone, there flat and usless.

I intend to make a reforming jig. Then press the shape back into them. Then put them through a heating process to respring them to a higher quality. I don't know if it will work, but it is worth a try.

I'm sure others will be interested in knowing how to do it. However, there seems to be lots of drivers here that say there is no problem with diff, so maybe it's just me ??
