Möbius build 3.0 : Crash testing Miatas like he works for the NHTSA
Internet citizens, your free entertainment carnage pictures are here. Carquest can suck my ***. But in other news, check the fancy Carbon Fiber Tillett B5.
Maybe, but in a longer-term timeframe. As the pictures show, it turns out I'm not in need of a diff at the moment.
I have a OSGiken sitting in a complete 4.3 assembly that has just sat around for years. Interested?

You know an OSG would have spun the non broken axle at least...
Clean that out. Like really well. make sure there are no bits of axle in other parts of the diff.

Wow. Interesting failure.
Why is the Tillett on the passenger side?

Because I have a Marrad for the driver's side. You know this.
The Tilletts were available as a pair for a better discount but the Marrad on sliders is the solution I need for the driver's side. The Tillet mounts are not on sliders.

Yes I know this, I just thought the Tillett was super neat and would therefore be on the driver side.
Interesting failure indeed. Did you hit a yump just before it failed or something? IIRC Jason did that once, popped the axle most of the way out, and then it stripped the splines off the end of it.
Might want to replace the retainer clip on the other axle before reinstalling, just in case.

Any pics of the Tillett mounting? I have a pair of them installed but yours looks like its mounted lower and I don't particularly like my solution.
