I had a 940 Wentworth with one too , on a 1992 plate Yes I think that would have been the change over year, and the 940 should always have had a 1041 if it is an estate. They must have started using 1041s on some of the late model 200 series to avoid having to produce two very similar but different axles. What is really unusual though is finding one on a 200 series that has got the Eaton G80... which must have been a factory option on a 200. There is a predetermined lock up speed, which could also be altered by changing the spring strength on the little rotating 'barrel' weights inside the unit. Typically, once slip begins, they will lock up within one quarter of a revolution of the spinning wheel. I find this works very well indeed in muddy fields, and also surprisingly well on tarmac under cornering loads with a fair bit of power on tap. |

These sound like pretty damned good little diffs. I wonder if one could be made to fit into a FWD gearbox  any chance of some general measurements of the diff unit itself? |

You're like a crazy backyard genius! |

The 1041 axle has the locker mechanism engaged under 25mph, but it is a LSD too.

haven't been on retrorides in a while! but thanks for all the great new info! the axle was bought to be used for a kadett c. but as times passes, it could very well end up being used for something else, as I'm still unsure about wanting to continue the kadett project.

(i can take some measurements, but I'm not fond of taking the diff out etc) |
