Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 The "spoilt" shaft for the front diff, has NOT yet be thrown in the scarp bin  . Will have to wait to end of next week to see if it can be used. Being a person that plans everything and is very methodical in my approach to engineering, I found to my dismay the the rear diff has been assembled with the crown wheel on the wrong side . So I have taken it out of the chassis, ready for a rebuild as and when the front diff is done. Attachment:

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 Some progress? and I hope I am not tempting fate this time with this post. Additional issues after the "spoilt" pinion shaft. Cannot successfully fit a 4speed diff in a 5 speed case? Discovered that a LN diff is about 5mm smaller in diameter, it has 8/33 ratio, so I have machined the pinion shaft to allow the same special bearing to be fitted. Have to admit defeat on the threading,broke too many carbide inserts:( Found got a company in Gloucester to thread the M24 onto a very hard shaft:) Before and After. Attachment:

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 As the weather is so Barmy ventured into the shed... Bell Housing + Front diff + Transfer shaft. Most of the parts! to be assembled into a working mechanism, just have to "remake" an oil seal carrier and blanking cover. Discs and brake calipers also need to be added to the pile. Attachment:

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 Now all the "bits" are together to make a front diff and transfer shaft from clutch to remote gearbox. https://youtu.be/AjEGTUFA4aUAll rotates but is very very tight, will see how soon it wears out or fails:(

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 Spent the weekend fretting about the tight gears. So I took a disciplined approach  and assembled and tried each shaft/bearing in turn. The last one was the input shaft/flange and was the culprit. Can now turn the flange by hand and the diff rotates. Yippee!!!!!. Attachment:

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 Rear Differential now rotates in the correct direction, to match the front. https://youtu.be/BFK7YzvUGeY
