for wear. Actually my favorite machinist did and I watched and held onto things while he hit them with large hammers and similar important tasks!
We measured everything and I will be ordering end clutch rings that are 3.2, 3.4 and 3.6 to make up for the wear in them and in the thin double faced friction discs.
He likes to tease me about how the benz hardware is strange and all but he is truly impressed with the quality of the construction. He said the spider gear shaft on any american made diff you can push out the shaft with your fingers after removing the split hollow shaft locking it in, and pointd out that on the benz you have to press it in and out.
So depending on how long it takes to get the parts I should have a working benz limited slip in my autocrosser with a 369 ratio in a couple of weeks!
Thanks to all who have made helpful comments to keep this moving along.
