Paying for them assembled (used) cause don't think they can assemble them correctly?

Either that or people who get caught up in the bidding. I have seen plastic RPM parts auctioned at prices higher than retail:surprised:.

While we are on the subject of the hybrid diffs, where can i get shims to alter the pinion depth? They are 8mm id, not sure how big the od would be?

lincpimp 10.04.2007 10:22 PM

Would the larger shims in this work?

BTW, if you send one of those FLM tranny halves and $8 back to Jaime (FLM), he will probably send you the half you need. He has done it for me...

Thanks again, any idea how I can get in touch with Jaime? I used the FLM store contact and a lady replied that they were wholesale only and to contact RCM.

did you try info@fastlanemachine.com ? i did have an email from jamie, but can't seem to find it now. maybe it's jamie at fastlanemachine.com? the info one is from the FLM website.

On the subject of UE parts selling for silly prices, I think alot of it is down to them usually being out of stock alot of the time (panic buying?), plus us UK truckers cant order directly from UE so we end up paying extra to get them else where. I definately would rather have UE diffs that I can just drop-in to my FLM bulks; I dont want to buy whole new hybrid bulks & 1/8 diffs and have to sell my existing FLm bulks- to mauch hassle & I know Im lazy.....
