Its a fair cop Kev, spose I'd better buy one then

What, Mark Weber is going to fit the diff

Chuck some shrimps on the Barbie. That's Australian

would be good to see a honda engine powerd stockcar, bet it would go well.

or wear a hat with some corks hanging off the edges. thats also australian

I no Mick think lubrication

Fosters for lubrication. That's Australian

Starting very shortly
Phase 2 of Donkey Dawsons Stocker build, on a Tuesday and Thursday evening, so pictures will soon start materialising as the build progresses.

Nearly finished

Haha. Dave 'barty' doorson.

Bloody cheque book racers......

Done some research.............on upside down diff and LSD operation

Production LSDs are clutch or viscus

The clutch type has spring loaded clutches which will slip when a certain torque differential occur between the two wheels. This will function in either direction.

Viscus uses silicone fluid in place of the springs. When the difference in speed between the two axles heats the silicone it expands and causes the clutches to bind, locking the axles. This type will also work in either direction.

The ring and pinion gears should be fine turning backwards otherwise downshifting and engine braking would kill them on a regular basis.

Looking in my "Machinists Handbook" 1941 edition gears typically have a symetrical profile, therefore the direction of rotation is mute.

Now one thing we haven't examined is lubrication. Now I can say from personal experience that a rearend, turned on it's side, with one axle pointed straight-up, has run lightly loaded in a mill in our plant for decades. In fact we did just change it out due to a failure, but it has amassed over 2,000 hours of operational time before it failed.

I believe, firmly, that a rearend will work just fine in a small car in an upside down and running backwards orientation. The windage effect should give plenty of lubrication to the bearings.

Lordy patience is a virtue, but you wont have to be as patient as watching onslows build
