Very much doubt it mate.
You could get one made, but it wont be cheap.

Most people just weld the Spider gears

or worth your while

the std bw is a very fragile thing, radio control cars have stronger diffs

hi there mate,i purchased one not too long ago off ebay..i also bought gears off the same bloke...

[DanTurboLancer]

Wow well there you go!

How much are they asking ISKA8?

and if you give it a hard time, shearing the axles inside the diff centre, and putting metal shaving all through your bearings will be your next concern.

i really cant remember who but,if you just type in gears for any car on ebay a name like victor or vicgears in sydney should come up??dat would be the guy?maybe even if you check my build thread i might have his name in there??not too sure though..alot of people kept telling me "WHY" a sigma diff,they will blow?but why not!!easy to get and easy to fit..might upgrade one day ....hope you find what your after mate..im running 4:11s anf a full spool cost me Ii think approx $250 (gears) $180 (spool)..
best of luck

vicmelboz
thats the one bro..

whats the spline count in that spool ??

i really dont remember..

This was the reply i got from the Ebay Gear supplier vicmelboz

OK, the sigma runs an M70 with 23 spline axles. I don't know of anyone who makes the 23 spline spool. I'm happy to supply a welded unit for $30 which would do the same thing as a spool. Cheers, Glenn

hmm well my diff may have that welded one in it mate...not too sure though, but i got it from vicmelboz..

[amgis_obrut]

well you'd want to get on to him then as he's charged you an extra $150 over what he's quoted me

[ISKA8]

i spoke to my mate that put the diff in,he organised the spool with him.he says that 100% that i got the lucky last spool he had somewere in his shop..he remembered he had one but couldnt figure out were he put it..few days later he found it behind some shit at work??my mate clarified that it was a genuine spool not welded..whoooh lucky me!!

I dunno, that vicmelboz bloke seems to think there was never any made for a 23 spline BW so either him or your mate is pissing in your pocket

In the last 20 years that I have been playing with cars like Cortinas that also had a 23 spline BW i have never seen one either and believe me i have looked (theres 23 spline spools for a holden banjo) thats why i contacted that ebay seller as i would love to get my hands on one


sorry to say though I think somebody has stooged you

I know this is way late but there actually is a mini spool for the sigma (well was) its a 23 spline mini spool from a company called romac they dont make them anymore but there should be some floating around somewhere , im searching high and low if anyone does happen to track them down let me know . but they defiantly do exist .

[ISKA8]

im not going to say i told u so boys...lol

[pigdog85]

yeah i contacted him about it the other day he gave me all the details about it i sent romac a email about it and they just replied with details of one of there guys who might be able to help out ill be giving him a call tomorrow and hopefully can track 1 down
