Hey guys,

Iv read through most of the posts on this part of the forum and im also looking at doing a bike conversion....

I would like to use the mini Differential but im unsure of the best and cheapest way of doing it, im not going for a £10,000 build this one is going to be on a budget as it will be a track car. I am going to build the subframe myself...

one question I have is would a solid diff work on track with a bike engine? something like this

http://cgi.ebay.co.u...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Also where is the best place to buy the bearings and carriers for the differential? what size are the bearings also?

Thanks
Jim

Yes please mate, did you just use a normal bearing carrier then?

Also did you seal your diff and grease/oil it?

Jim
