Gday Guys,
Well i started getting quotes for the new gearbox and diff installation on my 1995 DRB cobra. So far thank you to the guys for the advice its been excellent.
Well so far heres a quote that i have had:
Went up to Castlemaine Rod shop and spoke with Brad and Harry up there.
They have quoted total of $7000 for the whole job.
heres the break down:
Reconditioned 9" LSD Ford DIff with
VB discs and 3.5:1 ratio $3100
Handbrake cable: $150
T5 Kit with reconditioned box $2300
Labour @ $77 / hr 20 max hrs. $1540
The housing around the diff is tight with the 9" installed got about 1/2 inch to the back of the tyre fibre glass housing. Gonna have to knotch the upper crossmember slightly to allow for a little amount of travel. Will need new shocks as the ones on it are on the way out. May even need new springs as there is alot of travel in the back end. So there could be extra costs for sure.
So how does the quote sound????
I am aware the parts for this project are expensive so it was no surprise to hear the amount.
Can anyone else recommend any other diff and gearbox specialists??
Thanks for your help guys.
Cheers,
Al
Reasonable quote???
