I initially built it with a small shim on both sides. After a run or two, it felt like the shims were binding up the gear mesh a little bit. I took them out and ran in in the stock configuration with a 4.5, 5.0. and boosted 6.5. The gear mesh on mine is very tight- even with the stock shims.

Been running my w/a 4.5 on several differnent tracks for a month now w/no problems.
However, I have spent a considerable amount of time on my bench messing around with it.
FYI: I've found the easiest and (so far) best way of bullet proofing the diff is to just add longer pins to the stub axles ( to lock in the gears).
Just 1mm longer will work. This keeps the pins from entering the recess for the orings.
The only trick is to use a sharp Xacto knife to remove .5mm of mat. from both ends of the pin slot on the gears.

Just a quick question...

Thanks

Hobson, Got mine from EGR mart. Worked out at £34 pounds all together with a spare gear set and spare gasket set and delivered to the UK...
I think its possible to use an extra shim when an extra gasket is used, i cant see why you would though. Mines been fine as standard so far.
