They won't fit. The XR4x4 (viscos) LSD uses Dobro joints, the open diff uses splines. Totally different. I even had the case that the driveshafts from a 3.62 ratio open diff wouldn't fit a 3.36 open diff (they looked absolutely identicle)! Of course I only found this out after the diff was fitted. D'Oh.

With any luck, Dave will find out for you this weekend. Were Ford not able to help you?

Are they like the Lobro ones or are they specials for the viscous diff?

yours, Pete.

Hehehe, caught badly there. I think I was thinking of resonator guitars!
You're quite right they are Lobro joints, and I'm damned if I can spell viscus!
