GT6 Diff flange

[Alex Lowe]

Hi all

 

Was hoping the collective mind would have a solution to my problem. My diff flange managed to get bent during disassembly from the car and wondered if anyone had any good ways to ether straighten it or if anyone had any that they would be willing to sell.

Its of a Late Mk3 GT6 I believe a KC prefix.

That flange needs to be replaced, unlikely to be successfully straightened.

Is the shaft it came off still straight? Took a fair thump to do that damage….

shaft is still straight yeah it was caused by leverage from the prop being taken off incorrectly

How was the prop being taken off incorrectly manage bend it like that?

Did you try to snap the bolts using the prop as a lever?

hopefully the Gorilla has been rehomed   

Ive never seen one like that ever  how ever  .........

we dropped a truck 6 speed with range change and a splitter from high shelving and that bent the coupling and made a hole in the floor slab
