MY CAV 4x4

I'm in awe! Fantastic attention to detail.
I like the idea of a skid pan although I don't think it would last long here, speed bumps all over the place

How much of a problem is the case? I thought most failed through the gear teeth inside going bald

The cases flex during acceleration causing the gears inside to lift and this is when the damage occurs, these cages stop the standard weak cases from distorting and help maintain proper contact between the gears. They have been pushed to 800 bhp and 900NM without failing.

Where do you get these support cages?

We will see how destroyed mine is after a month

Some machine and some amount of work going into get it looking like that. Makes me wonder with my 90 or so BHP !!

I like the little fibre glass channels you made in the bulkhead corner to stop the water sitting in it, great idea that one.

Yeah seen so many good cars eaten up by rust there so thought it was time to assist the car in shedding any water that gathers.

We designed these ones to be stronger than the ones available over in Europe, plus making them here in the UK means no shipping and inport taxyou can purchase them from Lochaber stainless.

Nothing worse than having to repair someone elses bodges is there? Least it's done now, and it's looking smart

Home in 2 weeks and its going straight in for exhaust downpipe, ive just got to measure up the new brake lines and its good to go really, 4 wheel alignment and few snags, unfortunately only back for 3 weeks and away again for another 6 weeks.

Hope you get plenty of miles in during that time.
