Hey Guys,

I am about to put the diff center back into my diff (After installing a lokka) and I can't get hold of a new gasket (The old one is buggered).

Is it ok to just use a liquid sealant/gasket?, or will this put something I'm not thinking of out of whack?


Cheers.

Should be right. Can you get a hold of any gasket paper and make one yourself? Just use a silicone that doesnt adhere bluemaxx will do the job just make sure both surfaces are absolutely clean and free of oil.

Thanks lads,

Sorry about the late reply, but I found one at the last minute and got the lokka installed.
I have spent all evening tearing up any mound or molehill in the neighborhood.....lol




It is freakin brilliant for the deniro's, I got it second hand (Though unused, still in the box) off gumtree for $200.

It took me a few night's to get it in, triple checking my work as I went, but now I think I could knock one out in a quarter of the time.




There is another on gumtree if anyone else is keen!!

Good to hear everything worked out for you. No dramas with the centre you got then?

I managed to find a 4.1 center with the right spline count, it seems to be in good condition, no whine's or funny noises.
Cheers for the help with that.
