Hi All

Fitting the diff for the final time in my Fury and went to fit the front 2 bolts and there is an issue with my chassis, first the bolt holes don't line up, so i have opened these up, the second is the brackets on the chassis are not square to the diff. I would have thought that these would be lined up on the jig.


Diff mounting

What are my options, the best option is to cut them off and reweld them on straight, but this is the last resort as I am not the best welder (ie rubbish), and I don't want to take any of my lovely powercoating off.

Many thanks in advance

Mark

I don't know about the fury, but it's usual to have 'soft' mounts for the diff, which could take most misalignment away

I'd speak to Fury Sportscars before doing anything else.

Better picture might help but why does that look like a seat belt mount?

Because it is.

You wouldn't normally mount the Diff on the harness holes, if that is what it is. Again, speak to Fury Sportscars before chopping/welding anything. There are hundreds of these chassis been made and I'd bet they have an idea what to do for a Sierra Diff.

That doesn't look like the diff mounting point. For a start the diff would hand below the chassis

Hi

Thanks for the replies

Here is a better picture (Rob Collingridge's car taken from Google)




As you can see it bolts through this bracket into the lower diff mounting points.

Many Thanks

Ring the people who made it.....

Hey Mark

Have a look at these.

This is the Sierra diff fitted to my Fury.

Top is diff bolt and bottom belt bolt with turned down top hat spacer

Thanks to everyone that replied

Spoke to Steve at Fury Sports cars and he said to make up some wedge shaped spacers to take up the angle, which is what I thought of but did not think was ideal. He said the brackets aren't jigged so it is common and that is what they do.

So that is what I have done!

Not ideal but not the end of the world either. I'd rather make spacers than cut out and re-weld.
