[DeTomaso] Schwing-worthy hardware for ZF etc.

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Doug,

I'm aware of that. My concern was with the rubber faced washers posted
later. They are not suitable for this application. Also, the o-ringed nuts
will only seal if you omit the spring washers from the assembly procedure.
Otherwise you still have an un-sealed contact point between washer and back
cover.

  Thomas,

  The o-ring on the sealing nuts that Mike showed us look like the red
silicone type which will happily compresses to the point where the nut meets
the metal of the ZF so the proper axial holding of the rear cover is
retained while the oil is prevented from leaking out.  It seems like an
elegant (if not inexpesive solution).  Hey Mike, if they're stainless, I
doubt they'll need the zinc plating but did they say which series of
stainless they're made of?

  The input and output shafts of the gearbox float in the frontmost support
  points and rely on the back cover to remain positioned axially. Also, some
  of the studs that the back cover nuts screw onto extend all the way
through
  the rear case to the front case and keep the two case halves together.

  Or it would be if their site didn't use Frames, those evil things.  That
  link just takes you to the general 'sealing washers' page which then lists
  dozens of different types of sealing washers.

  Tell us the actual name of the ones you have in mind, from the left
column?

  Also, it hadn't occured to me that there was a specific torque value
  necessary to retain the back cover on the gearbox, but if that's the case,
  then
  perhaps this isn't a suitable location for something like this, and we
just
  need to live with the leaks?
