XR4 diff
am soon to mount diff in me viento, only problem is the bolts which came from me donor car are not long enough.(7" diff)
The flanges in chassis are wider than the diff, i know i need to use spacers to set diffin between the plates but where can i obtain long bolts-would
7.5 inch diff bolts fit ok and if so what car were they originally fitted to???

Hello Hector its nice to speak to a fellow Plymothian!
I don't know anything about Luego kits (I'm building a Tiger Avon), but do they not supply a bolt pack with their kits for the diff
etc?
I believe Granadas and Cossies had 7.5" diffs, but if you're thinking of popping down to 'Vospers' for the bolts, be prepared
to be disappointed.
You'll probably find 'the computer says no!..' Which is the response I got when trying to get mounting bolts for rear hubs and
callipers.
There's a place on Exeter Street that sells all manner of fasteners and should be able to help with the right length bolts. I believe
they're called 'Express Fixings'.
BTW, where abouts in Plymouth are you? (I live in Hartley Vale - down behind the Golden Hind pub.)
HTH,
Andy.

Hi there, I was goin to try vospers, but needed to know which car they were from first, I did get all my suspension bolts from them in exeter street,
they were quite cheap as well!, have not tried them yet thou., if not it will be a trip to some breaker yards if FORD cant supply them either.
ps I am in Plympton, near chaddy garage.

Not suprisingly, they're much cheaper than Ford!
Hope that helps,
