Make up some plates to fit between the gears. Make sure it is heavy guage
and clean. Weld the plate to the gear teeth ensuring that the plate is
welded in in such a way as to jam the teeth. Then the only stress the welds
have to cope with is holding the plate in place. I did this to a mates 720
offroader 11 years ago and it is still working well.

Subject: CIG locked diff no more....
About two weeks ago I welded up the spider gears in an R160 (3.7) and jammed
it in the back of the Datto.
Gave it a dozen hot laps at winton and have been driving it to and from
work.
I was getting a bit sus when I stopped hearing that squeek of the tyres on
turning so jacked up the car tonight.
Sure enough....diff not locked. The welding in the spider gears has
obviously broken but I can't believe it's not making a hell noise. The diff
isn't even making a bit of a wine.
I used a heap of current and heavy electrodes when I welded the gears, so
I'm stuffed if I know whats gone wrong.
Anyone have any tips as to the correct method? I have an open R180 (3.9)
sitting under the bench and might give that a burn.
