The only problem that I had with 2 Quaifes that I did for other people was
that the factory Hand Press collets could not get behind the side brgs. to
remove them.
Is the pinion Depth correct?
Who made the 4.1 R & P ?
Quaife problem as mentioned by others?

Subject: [Fot] Quaife and 4.1 Installation Issues TR3
Amici - I have purchased a new Quaife directly from Quaife UK, a new 4.11
gear set and a complete set of new bearings for installation in a Southwick
conversion TR3 differential housing. In what should have been a relatively
simple installation process has proved to be one royal PITA. Simply put
with
the pinion installed with the correct preload, even with all the shims
moved
to one side of the carrier there is no way to get any backlash.
This has been driving my installer crazy as they have checked, several
times, all the dimensions, bearing and cage heights. It appears that the
Quaife cage is 1.2 mm taller than the stock cage. I have phoned the Quaife
tech line twice and sent a number of e-mails requesting assistance and
received the following response: "I think that our diff only fits with the
3.75 ratio directly, the only option will be to Machine the crown wheel
face."
