granada vs sierra
dern - 6/1/05 at 01:29 PM

Would a granada 2.9 4x4 give me the same bits as a sierra 2.9 4x4 or are all the bit correspondingly bigger. The bits I'm thinking about are...

back axle (diff/shafts/hubs) to go into a GTS DeDion
steering column

Thanks,

Mark

may have a 7.5 as opposed to 7" dif..
hubs will be 5 stud and not 4 i think too.

No I don't. I'm 20 minutes to the other side of Newbury. There aren' many of us around here, but there seem to be loads of builders in the Guilford/Sussex area.

I'm pretty sure the diff' is the same as the Sierra. My dad's 2.9i was 7"

The track is 1" wider though! Stick with the Sierra if you've got the option.
It's harder work finding 5stud alloys to fit the Grandad as well!
