Im Looking at buying a Gripper for the Rallycar, has anyone got any good advice?

Corby motorsport said any good garage can fit these, so i should be able todo it myself.
Has anyone fitted their own?
Or can anyone recomend anyone?

Whats options did you go for?
JC5 Gearbox,

Thanks

Speak to Gripper Diffs.

I can't remember the ratio on mine, but mine is basic fast road spec and it does not go as mad as rally spec for gravel etc.

Yes, they can be fitted easily and do away with the diff circlip (a common JC5 fail area).

You will need to modify the crown wheel I think. Again, speak to Gripper. You can send them one and they can do it for you at quite a low cost.

Mine makes for a better getaway and better power split on the twisties in the wet, you can hear it a fair deal! You will need to swap to a different much more expensive diff box oil.

Yea, you can specify the ratio's, they've done loads for JC5's so can advise you better than me. You can get more than one of course and change the diff crown wheel to suit event type.

You can get them to modify the final drive too for longer or shorter gearing.

Thanks mate, i see in the old group thread that the shaft has to be altered?

Nah, that was the old spec of diff. You can just use the normal one now due to internal mods they made.
