Hi Steve, thanks for this. But that’s for the hubs which need end float. The diff pinion needs pre load or drag. And the unit is inch pound, not foot pound. I don’t know the torque applied to the pinion nut as I just kept on tightening until I started to get pre load or drag. I just wonder if 30inch...

Diff pinion pre load. In the jag book they say between 8-12 inch pound. In the Dana 44 instruction sheet they say 20-40 inch pound. Does anyone know why there’s such a difference? I’m assembling a jag diff. After crushing the crushable sleeve with lip seal in place I got to 30 inch pound. Anyone exp...

Hi everybody. I'm rebuilding my E-type S1 diff. The original flange on the input shaft is 52mm long. I'm going to use a 66mm flange (to go with the 26 splines gears) Does anyone know if these 14mm difference will cause troubles with the propshaft? Or should I get it shortened :( Thanks in advance Ja...

Thank you all for the messages, even if I'm still not sure 100% it helps.

Just talking to someone I recently learned that there are 4 types of input shaft bearings!!
We always learn.
So I'll order a Dana Spicer set of gears from the US and see what I can do with it...

@ PhilK : Are you not a friend of Steve (Southern Classics in Twickenham) ?
Yesterday I asked him about that subject and he told me a story very similar to yours.

Hi everybody. Apparently the crown wheel and pinion in a Jag diff are identical to the American Dana 44. There are more splines for the flange, and the bolts holding the crown wheel to the carrier have a different size. These differences can be solved. Has anyone tried fitting an American Dana 44 CW...

Yes, please, always interesting !

Thanks in advance

I just had a look, seems a good reliable idea but...
Is is easy to fit? The pipe will take a lot of space behind the dashboard and will not be very flexible I guess.
Still possible to open the dashboard with it?

Thanks

Hi

I fitted a stronger oil pump and pressure release valve from Rob Berre on a 1967 E-type.
Now the pressure gauge is just always on the maximum (60) except at iddle, around 40-50 PSI.
A V12 gauge goes to 80 PSI, is it a good idea?
Does anyone have any better recommendation?

Thanks
James

Hi
I'm about to modify the back brakes on a 1967 E-type, I'll fit vented disks using Rob Beere's kit.
Does anyone know if it's possible to fit later calipers on an early differential?

Thanks
James

Hi I just completed a lot of work on a 1967 S1 New engine, E type fabs 5 speed box. The gearbox was already fitted and had done 20000miles, was running well. With the new clutch, the reverse gear is hard to engage. It can only be engaged if i go through 2nd and 3rd firstly. I bleed it, the movement ...

Hi everyone

I replaced all the front frames on a 1967 E type.
Now I need to re set everything, does anyone have the chassis geometry data or knows where I could find that?
Parallelism, caster, camber

Thanks in advance
James

Thanks guys for your advices, I'll keep investigating and let you know what happens.

Hi everyone, I'm building a 4.2l long studs, big valves for a 1967 E-type. So I'm basically replacing the engine by a more modern one. My problem is that I have to keep the old camshafts for the tacho drive. I'd like to be sure they're still usable. Is there a tolerance chart to measure them and see...
