Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 12, 2015 Member Share Posted May 12, 2015 Can you add an end-on photo: there's a trick that depends on whether it looks like an X, or something like that.

Ian Mackenzie Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Here is another pic....I visited Angus and Tessa's site as well. It is a plate diff with the two axles like the ZF. It came off a 2012 R500 when the owner changed from a Ford to BMW Diff. This diff was the orignal factory supplied diff that came with the R500 in 2012.CheersIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Has it got a serial number? Example 45R691838 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I assume that you don't have the diff in your possession? As I was going to ask what is the code stamped on the crownwheel flange. ZFs were phased out a long while back I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The number looks like a Titan serial number, the one I posted was. Try sending it to Titan, they will tell you the exact spec that it left the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Mackenzie Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Quick update....Following on from ChrisC's suggestion (Thank you) I emailed Titan with the serial number and they confirmed it was indead a Titan along with the ramp angles and the preload that it was built with.CheersIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
