When Kinarfi and I took apart my front differential, we found one of the washers that slip behind the spider gears was missing (there were only 3 installed from the factory--guess it was lunch time when it can to install #4). I was wondering if any of you out there who have spare parts or have had to tear theirs apart may have an extra one of these washers I could buy off of you. This is the spherical or curved washer and one is supposed to sit behind each of the 4 spider gears and acts like a bearing/bushing between the spider gear and the cone they sit in.

Kinarfi and I have been trying to find one that would work from a driveline shop, but not having much luck so thought I would throw it out to you all. I do have the dimensions if you are not sure if you have the right one. Thanks for looking and let me know if you find one you would be willing to part with or if you have other ideas on where I might find one (silverbullet didn't have one).

I have a thought that should work. The stock washer is fairly soft like mild steel. I think if you can find a piece of bearing brass (I think it is Brass 360) in sheet that is the same thickness or within a couple of thousands. that you could make one. Brass would be my first choise but a piese of mile sheet steel would probably work ok too. First drill a hole in it to the same size as in the existing washers. Then cut it into a washer maybe 1/8" larger then the stock washer. Take this blank and put it into the spider gear housing in between a spider gear and one of the curved surfaces the washers normally seat up against. Then put a short pin thru the spider gear and washer and into the housing to align things. A short bolt that doesn't stick all the way thru would work fine. Cut one off if you have to. Put the head of the bolt against the inside side of the spider gear. Then use a press, big c-clamp or whatever you can come up with to push on a pin coming from the opposite side of the housing thru the pin hole and seating against the bolt head and press the spider gear up against the inside wall of the housing. A lead or soft steel hammer would even work to form it. This should form the washer into the spherical shape you need. After you get it pressed to shape, strike the head of the bolt while the washer is still in between the gear and housing, with a heavy more solid hammer a few times to take out any spring back of the newly formed washer. Now, trim the outside of the new washer to the correct size and you should have it.

I tried contacting him over the weekend via email for something else but has not responded. If you get a response, let me know and I will do the same for you.

ROCMOC,

I got a message back wihting a couple of hours today from the "jefferyphx" guy with all the bits and pieces...don't know if you ever heard back from him regarding your inquiry but seemed to respond fast to me...unfortunately did not have one of the washers I need or at least he doesn't know if he does as it does not have a part number.

He never wrote me back. Now looking back, Lenny & I should have bid more for some of the parts. I tried to buy the clutches and they must have had deep pockets as I was the under-bidder with a health bid. Some of these guys were just buying to make a buck and were not really car/off-road/toy guys. Oh well! Thanks for letting me know.

Casey from JMC referred me to a guy named Chris who has done some work on joyner differentials. He is checking through things (Junk box) to see if he has one...said he very well may have one and would get back to me. Will keep you posted.

Jeff

Can you PM me his number?

Thanks,
