Sierra Diff, shafts and brakes

standard 7" sierra Diff (push in shafts), complete with entire rear baem\wishbones\shafts\Hubs (for drums) and drum brake setup. Happy to split for any bits you want.

Looking £50 for the diff and £25 for the shafts. Let me know if you want any of the other bits and I will get a price.

Also have a pair or front sierra calipers, these are in great order and look to have been a recon (or new) pair and the car covered less than 6,000 miles with them. They are complete with carriers and pads (used) and good used discs. These are the 240mm disc setup. Looking £50 for them.

Collection from Newtownards (N. Ireland) or will arrange shipping at cost.

Any chance the diff is limited slip?

Absolutely none. I took it out to fit one. Very rare to find an LSD with push in shafts.

Is it the general rule that drum brakes and push in shafts go together or did they also do some push in shafts with disks

I'm not 100% sure but if they did I haven't come across them yet, I do know that the Hubs are very different but that's due to the different shafts.

As a rule of thumb I'd say push in shafts mean drums and non lsd

It is. Generally the disk braked cars had bolt on shafts, but you can never be 100%.

you can use cut down bolt on shaft hubs so you can have a bolt on shaft and drum brakes, problem with the other way round is there's nowhere to bold your calipers on.

Thanks. Ive learned something today as I'd been assuming the diffs were all physically the same and some just had short extensions pushed in which the bolt on shafts then attached to.

Apologies for high jacking the thread .

That is pretty much the case, the extensions (AKA inner stub shafts/stub flanges) that are used on bolt on shafts dont just push though, they are held in with clips from the inside.

You can get conversion plates that fit on the drum brake hubs, so that you can fit disc's. This is how mine is set up. MNR's do the conversion plates. HTH Ray





To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Is that route cost effective compared to sourcing a pair of bolt on shafts and matching diff ? Are the bolt on parts difficult to get hold of ?

Drums have 229.4mm max on them, hope it helps.

No generally the other way round, I can't get a CV rebuild kit for my push in shafts so im after a strange route of bolt on shafts with drum brakes...

That's easy enough done by cutting the lugs off the hub carriers for the calipers and using them with the drums.
