250 miles on and the diff is holding up so far...

Some new roadster related goodies turned up in the post this morning.
I got mixed reviews from other road users on the way home, but I think they were mostly positive



Chocks away!

Think it might be small head rather than big goggles, and yes, hilarity did prevail

Glad to hear the "Tango diff" is holding up.

Do you think the failure was purely because the rubber mounts where in shear like you say?
Obviously a bit concerned as I'm using the same mounts but in compression and tension.
What did you wear before your new goggles?

Yes, I'm pretty sure it failed due to my half ar5ed job using rubber mounts in shear
I had a look at your mates chassis when I visited Porkchop's and I can't see your diff going anywhere the way you have it sandwiched with one in compression and one in tension at all times.

Before I got my rediculous hat and goggles I was switching between sunglasses and a full face motorcycle helmet.

These are the shades I use (PM me if you want a 20% discount code):

They're great for short trips and slow/town driving, but I find the bike helmet much more comfortable if I'm going to be driving above 40mph for any length of time.

My odometer passed 1000 miles today!
Only one major malfunction during that time can't be too bad can it
