diff rebuild - where?
got a couple of sierra diffs sat in my garage, both of unknown condition but a mate is about to embark on a kit build so want to get one overhauled
for him but it's been years since i've had a diff rebuilt and the guy i used to use has hung his spanners up now.
anyone point me in the right direction? closer to leicester the better really.
built a car, built a home, had a family. lost the family, lost the home, still got the car.

Another vote for road and race, but they might be too far away.

I don't know the cost of a diff rebuild, but how does the does it compare with getting a diff that doesn't need a rebuild?

What about doing it yourself? It's not too hard, just take your time.

Problem is knowing 100% that it doesn't need a rebuild. Most Sierra diffs out there are very long in the tooth now.
250 ish quid for a rebuild from Dave Rae. All new bearings, seals, blast cleaned and repainted. No brainer really

if i had means of setting the preload and backlash on it i would as they aren't rocket science but seeing as it's a 1 off job it's
not worth investing in the kit to do it myself.

the chap is just getting set up to build a GBS Zero, GBS want £564 for a recon unit which has had bearings, seals and a coat of paint
Dave Rae will do the same to one of the units i've got including painting it and there's just shy of £300 difference to buying from GBS. I
think Dave wins this one!
