I am hoping someone has broad enough knowledge of early and late Spit and GT6
differentials me sort out something.
John Kipping told me that he had various gear sets available when I spoke to
him about Quaife carriers. Among the variety was a 4.11
gear set. So I ordered one along with the Quaife unit. Both arrived yesterday.
Here I am inspecting what I have and noticed that the ring and pinion gears
looked very familiar. So I rummaged through some parts I
took out of a Herald differential and compared them with what I received.
Guess what???? They are identical.
The question is: Will the early Spit/Herald gears fit into the later pumpkin
that is required for the Quaife unit?
I already fit the ring gear onto the carrier and it fits perfectly. But I have
not yet received the case Brian Schlorff shipped me to
see it the pinion fits properly. I looked at all my parts lists and cannot
find a 4.11 gear set for any later diff, and all the
bearings are different part numbers. So I am stumped.
What do you say? Did I buy this unnecessarily? And more importantly, do I
have 2 sets that won't work?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
