It uses B4.1 bearings which Ben supplies in the kit he sells.

the internal diameter is metric and the gearbox requires the assocuated imperisl size. Unless you have custom one off bearings then they have a sleeve pressed onto metric bearings

There is a chap in the USA who is manufacturing bearings that have these dimensions. Im pretty sure these are the only 2 ways.

The bearings on the diff are from the B4.1 and the ones on the pinion shaft are the ones that come in the B44.2 kit. Ben's kit comes with the bearings you need. No modifications are needed, simply drop into the diff housings and shim them (You need to use the shims that come with the diffs as AE's won't fit over Durango outdrives, I shimmed it the same way my ball diff was and checked it after the first run).

Quite some time has passed and I was not able to get a reply from Ben..
Any alternative solutions for the shaft and bevel pinion? Maybe using other brands parts? TeamC?

Danny, if you have a man who can, I'd be interested in trying one of these for the cobra conversion. What sort of money does he charge?

The machining cost for a set of 4wd input shafts, with removable pinions is currently 40 quid. its steep but its due to having to set machine up each time. With a large run I can likely reduce the cost some. WWatch this space.

OK I will be running the new input shafts this weekend. They have removable pinions on a c clip and use the current pins and c clips.

The shaft is 1mm longer than the press fit type to allow for shimming.

I'm just awaiting Durango pinions now, expect to see the parts for sale within a fortnight.

price £TBC

OK conversion ran flawlessly all weekend. First batch going to the engineers this weekend. Cost is £60 posted for 2 machined input shafts and 2 machined bevel gears.

Bevel is fully removable to change bearings and allow for fine tuning the mesh with shims.

The cost of the Durango bevel gears is high which is pushing cost up. If you have some this will save £20. I'm looking at having these manufactured in future.

5 sets will be ready back end of next week. pm me if interested. pics to follow.
