I have and cant set the diff to work correctly it is either really tight or way to loose with the slightest bit of ajustment? I have built it up without thrust bearing as they say and just using collar, spring washers and nut.

If anyone could tell me what I am doing wrong or even show me a picture if theirs that would be cool. I'll post a picture of mine when I get home tonight.

Thanks

the serpent diff uses a belleville washer, a pair actually. they look like washers but they are cupped, they need to be stacked so that there holes are in contact and the outer rings are seperated. (look at the serpent manual again and you will see what i mean0 this should create a spring effect that makes the diff less touchy.

this approach is pretty common, CRC and AE also used belleville washers in their diffs, but just 1.
