    Some folks will say dont use the collapsible spacer, use a solid one, not sure how to go about getting these, maybe a new one made.

    Isn't the collapsible spacer for bearing preload? Wouldn't make sense to put a solid one in?

    Not 100% sure why sorry, just heard it somewhere along the grapevine.

    I know mines solid and never had drama's. collapsible spacer does just that, changes shape then creates movement in other parts i think.

    Sorry just a random post i did, i really dont know much about it.

    f-series being a bigger stronger diff it might not matter as much and the spacer would be stronger in the first place.

    Nice work on the hand break cable solution! That's the sole reason I switched to S13 calipers on my F-series. Which reminds me, I gotta get them dimensions for you. I still haven't switched to the other hard drive to do the cad stuff.

    When building a diff you can use a custom solid spacer for the pinion rather than the standard crush-tube.

    Crash tubes do exactly that, get crushed when you torque the pinion bolt up and therefore should give the correct pinion preload. The danger is that if abused the crush tube could crush further and then things get sloppy. A solid spacer has to be custom made and adjusted in length to give the right pinion preload, but is supposed to be stronger.

    I had a solid spacer put in my F series when I had it built. Given the price of having a centre built and adjusted it wasn't much extra from memory.

    Here's my rear brake set up, custom caliper bracket using s13 disks and jdm 86 calipers, works well because all the hand brake lines fit perfectly.

    No I don't but surely it couldn't be hard to copy them.
    Might be worth pulling them off and getting a few made up, any more interest out there?
