Savage ML-E

Been trying to get some work done on the diffs. This is how my diffs usually end up. Silicon fluid turns blacks and eventually leaks out and gums up the bearings :(


So as I mentioned in the first post I would like to try the mod to use the Vorza diff cases. I tried to test fit the case into the stock Flux bulk but I'm having a problem. The assembly below won't fit in the bulk, it's too wide. The problem is the Vorza diff case is slightly wider than the stock Flux case. If I leave out the two shims it will fit but then the gear mesh isn't as snug as the stock setup. Anyone who has done this can you chime in please? Jahay?

I think you can get away by removing some of the material from the diffcup. Just use some emery paper on a hard and flat surface (glass coffee table works great) and and sand the end of the diffcup in circular motion. This should remove enough material. Since the shims are so thin anyway you will only have to remove very little. Just do your best to keep it flat. This will also move the crown gear in the direction you need it to go (towards the pinion).
