I've completed the parts for a differential for a 1/12 scale gearbox I'm making.

Here it is assembled next to a penny.

The central pin will be cut down so it's flush with the cage and slotted for a screwdriver. This is the first time I have been able to test the bevel gears I made for this and I'm very happy. Everything meshes smoothly.

Lovely work, superb.

Beautiful work as usual

edit: does the bar poking out on the left side serve any purpose?

The bar will be cut to length eventually. I've just left it long to make it easier to assemble and take apart for testing.

Really nice and so tiny. Now try making this limited slip diff:

Old Mart,

Sorry to be a pedantic but that is a 'Torque Biasing Differential' rather than a 'Limited Slip Differential'. They have differing operational and vastly different behavioural characteristics to the vehicles on road performance. I used to have one of Mr. Rod Quaife's 'Ratchet and Pawl' differentials (an early version of the TBD but without the subtedly of power progression from 'off' to 'on' as is now achieved with the Gleason type – which the new product is now) fitted in a Mini Cooper 'S' which was lethal when entering a corner as the car would deviate off course due to driving the inner front wheel rather than the outer wheel as in a 'normal' differential.

Steve,

Extremely nice work – well done!
