hey everybody we are a new team and i was wondering if anybody can halp us out with a littel something .
the thing is that we bought the torsen T1 diff and i would like to manufacture the halfshafts my self but i am not sure excexlly what is the 68 degree (space width angle) i think it's the angle between the end of a teeth and the begining on the next teeth.
can anybody verify .

I can't be too sure on the space width angle although I'm pretty sure you're right. We run the university special torsen as well. I've never splined them myself but I'm sure there's a lot of trial and error to getting it right. I typically cut the shafts myself on the lathe and then send them out for splining and then heat treating. This saves a lot of time as compared to making it entirely yourself and costs a fraction of outsourcing the whole product. If you decide to outsource your splining, Dutchman Motorsports has had very good turn-around times for us. I hope this was helpful.

The info you need I know has been posted before. Do a search and I am sure you will find what you need and how others have done it in the past.

Two companies you might want to look into to save you some time.

Paradigm Motorsports (http://www.paradigmmotorsports.com/html/torsen_splines.html)

RCV (sold by Taylor Racing) (http://www.taylor-race.com/techsprt.cfm)

Haven't used either, but info I have come across over the years.

wont save you money thou, its not that hard to cut splines, just takes time unless you have cnc capabilities

True, but how many teams can afford the non standard cutter. I think its about $700. Sure you can use something close and may get away with it, but hey thats what the well spent money on the correct parts is for. Not to mention if you are going to machine your inboard housings directly into the Paradigm shaft you save as much as you spend! If not go with the $130 bar and its done... my two cents worth

[drivetrainUW-Platt]

you dont have to worry about the inboard cv's if you go with an ATV diff.....
