i know some people are having the diff itsself machined, where aer you machining from?

 

What are you trying to accomplish?

I'm one who had some machining done.

 

im trying to find out were you removed material to get the clearance to run an oem shim

 

Edited fasted image of the OBX LSD I could find. (Apologize to owner )

Circles indicate face I had machined. ONLY this side!

MistaBone and others are using shims meant for other things that will work instead of doing any machining. I had a VERY hard time finding a machine shop willing to do the work anyway. NOTE: I also had them turn down the "X" on each end (Original form is 40mm. I was/am using a 35mm bearing trans case) but you DON'T need that.

 

cool, thanks

I went about it a different way. I put a shim between the diff and the bearing and pitched the honda shim.

 

Interesting. So what kind of shim did you use? I assume that it was just enough to take up the bearings seat.

It was in my toolbox and was the perfect size. It was from a mercruiser or mercury outdrive from when I used to rebuild them. It left it with .003" clearance.

 

That's awesome

A boat dealer I suppose, dont remember which bearing the shim was for though.
