A gearbox guru ?

[aleximport25]

Rite cut a story short this happened to my lsd box last year ....

What I want to know is would it be possible to use a section out of a non lsd box ?

From what I can see it can, but wondered if anyone had ever tried anything similar as it's going to work out a lot cheaper to repair this way

Thanks in advance Alex.

you can use it indeed from another box and grind/cut to size but u will need to take the whole box apart , it wont be the 1st thats fixed there

Nice one cheers dude :-) the box works fine so I don't want to fork out for a lsd box or downgrade to non lsd haha. Sounds like il be booking some time off so I can take my time and not screw it up :-)

Oo sounds good dude what do you want for it ?

I would just get another casing

I've had the same issue a couple of times many years ago. Initially I pulled the gearbox down and welded in a new section but as above, if you can find another casing just swap everything over. Make sure your using the brace from the mount bracket back to the top of the box - it eliminated the issue for me.

Nice one cheers dude need to get it sorted I've still got the piece as the last owner fitted a new box and only used 1 bolt to hold it on. Luckily I was left with a descent amount of threads so I drilled the piece used some chemical metal and bolted it up with 3! Bolts I'm quiet impressed as it doesn't leak :-)
