Help: Too many variables, drum shafts to lobro diff?
Which of the drum based drive shafts can have the diff end tripods taken off and have diff end lobro's fitted to do a diff conversion?
I have some 24mm'ish dia shafts off the car, and 27 mm'ish dia shafts on the car at present.
I do not know if both shafts have the same diameter Tripod splines? I would not like to split the cans as I can not replace them to then find they
are the wrong size.
As far as I am aware all drive shafts have been taken off petrol cars, not diesel.
Can anyone help.

I have 27mm shafts. Came from a 1985 2.0i sierra with rear drums and 3.9 open diff. Fitted 3.6 viscous LSD three years ago and simply swapped the
push-in inner tripodes for bolt-on Lobros without problems.

Thanks Dusty I assume your 2.0 was petrol, not aware of a diesel 2.0 thought all were 1.8's.
Did you do any write up or have any pictures, or do you have any help information I could go off?
This would mean cutting the tins off shafts fitted to the car, so once I start I am commited.
What size are the lobro's outer diameter, need to check I have the correct ones.
TIA

I can not find the information on Crust world and do not have any login to see the Sierra forum?
Correction I can log into the forum but it looks as though all the how to's have been moved so you have to be a paid up member of the club to
view.
Is there anywhere else I could look?

Cheers Matt, I guess I did not search far enough back in time.
