what is a spool diff? is it like those ausie lockers that click when going round corners?

anyways i have decided to tig weld the rea diff center ive gotten it out broke it down cleaned it up real nice in solvent then soaked in mineral turps and blown off with air hope fully thats enough to get what i can of the oil outa the casting and gears surface

ive rough cut the mild steel bits to go in they are 8mm thick and ill put a nice beval on there to sink the beads in for what i hope to be a good structal weld to make it permanate and never brake

i will be doing a nice pre heat in the oven probaly to 180-200c then get my tig on with some stainless filler? not realy sure what filler rod is best here just a stabe in the dark that ss might work???? then ill wrap it up in the fiberglass heat blanket to slow the heat loss

probaly a lot off screwing around to lock a diff that will be comeing out down the track anyways but u want to do it because i can and ive never done it also some filler rod, argon, time is far cheeper than buying a diff center imo

probaly not that good for trying to turn when on rocks as it will try pull/push the rocks and make it unstable but im gonna give it a go

o yeah its 30 spline to some reson i wanted to know what the splins were cant rember
