diff fitting?
-matt - 7/10/10 at 09:53 AM

im trying to fit my diff, but seem to have a problem.

the MK brackets are 7" top and bottom.

but my diff is 7.5" at the top and 7" at the bottom.

is the diff supposed to be like this? or will i need a different diff?

cheers

just had a look in here: http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/forum/3/viewthread.php?tid=143758


and it looks like ive got the 7.5" diff.

so looks like ill have to have a look out for a 7"

Where abouts are you?
Which ratio are you looking for?
I have a 3.62 if your interested?

yes its a 3:62 (bolt on) im after.

im 217 miles from yorkshire, so its a bit far to go. but will keep you in mind if i can't find one soon.

I had the same problem. I cut off the top left hand fixing on the chassis (all of the other fixing points match up), fitted the diff and made a new bracket for the remaining fixing. Also had to grind a bit off of the diff 'fins' to get it in.
