well i can honestly say

[nutter4x4]

its been a while but we`ve come to the conclusion that a 02A/C/J transfer box in any form, can`t take more than 450ft of torque, no matter of bracing will save it [][8D][]

[re2]

so what is the plan from the man with all the torque?

[nutter4x4]

going to try 02m in the mk1, rebuild one with a nice clutch, everything about the 02m is bigger looks stronger, but again still has the same weak points, as everything stronger and larger around it it should last longer

[nutter4x4]

this is no3 transfer box with the larger qtr inch plate bracket around it

[nutter4x4]

and this no1 transfer box, you can see the difference how much the larger bracket gave the transfer box a bit more of a chance[]

Ouch!

[nutter4x4]

now you can see y i wanted to look in to the rallye casing chris, unfortunatley it won`t work, the offset on the prop side of casing is different

I noticed that both transfer boxes are alloy, would the iron one be any better?.
BTW how does the VC unit fair with this level of torque?

[nutter4x4]

alloy because its a haldex transfer box not availble in cast iron, the rallye rear diff broke with 300ftlb 4 years ago been on haldex since

[re2]

uve certainly put many of the syncro and haldex parts to the test!

[nutter4x4]

well you gotta try, but i think made the right choice now , hopefully it doesn`t break

[nutter4x4]

so far so good, managed 7 runs at santa pod best time of 12.05 @116mph 60ft 1.77 all on the same boost as last time thats 0.7secs off my last visit with just the 02m gearbox change

[no such user]

it it to the point now where it would be worth getting 5 or 10 mm sheet ali profile cut to fit over the transfer case and tig welded to it to strengthen the caseing ?

say 4 plates even spaced, and then possobly a a few strips of same ali notched out to fit over the plates then welded to to tie the whole things together big style

[nutter4x4]

arh that given me an idea, could always get a sleeve machined up to slip over the top of the transfer casing, nice tight fit catching all the high points on the casing, shouldn`t be to hard
