Jonathan Ward is mocking up a digi Dash surround

Following with renewed interest as I am considering similar with a windows tablet hooked in to the Adaptronic.

Hats off to Geartech, a very good service picking up and dropping off of gearbox, took them 7 days to complete fitment including machining and providing new bearings, all in the price was £310. Just a shame that the sexy diff lives in a shit looking box despite the fact it’s full refurbished.

Are there any benefits to painting the housing now while out ?

Yeah I could tart it up a bit I guess, is there any particular type of paint I should use?

Also what is the recommended oil to use with diff? I was planning on putting in Comma 75w 90 again.

Coat of decent paint before fittting get it looking good

Speak to the vendors of the diff.

 

[Duncan Grier]

Yep I used a slightly different one on my atb audi diff and plenty of decent oils that are not silly money

Plate lsd's tend to be more particular on diff oil

Get fitted, great weather for safe testing of new hardware

I’ll go with what I always use.

View attachment 90049 I’ll go with what I always use.

I should probably have known that , what with my c63 having a quaife

 

[Adey]

tidy stuff, if you need someone to try out the gearbox before you get chance to get it fitted let me know

 

[Mark Davis]

Few more pics from Jonathan. I’ve sent him the four control buttons to cut in too.

 

[Duncan Grier]

Looking good! Does he want to do another while messing about?

Had not fully decided onchow to mount mine but this looks a quality option

I’m sure he would yes. I think he is on TR but not sure of his username - @Jonny5 maybe ?

@Jonny5 - dash is looking awesome, Jonathan is putting the finishing touches on and sorting the placement of the 4 control buttons. I’m going to have to pay a bit more attention to the dashboard itself now as that’s seen better days.

 

[Mark Davis]

Add a new clutch to the ever growing expenditure.

 

[Brigsy]

Helix plate ? Seen a few fail like that

 

[Mark Davis]

Yes Jon it is, sent them the video and asked for a freebie. Worth a try I guess.
