What about fitting the Inner CV joint from a Lobro, to the standard shaft of a drum setup?

I was under the impression that this was'nt possible due to the shaft diameter being different (Lsd Lobro thicker).
Are the shafts the same diameter on non-lsd lobros as tripod fitting? (All the lobro's I've dealt with have been from lsd back ends)

Yeh, I was under the same impression but apprently not.
This comes from a bit of a guru over on the Sierra Forum

Is that apparently not for the shafts being different diameters (I know for definate that the exposed part of the shaft is larger on lsd lobro than
tripod) or for the non lsd compared to lsd lobro shaft diameter being different?
EDIT: Just seen THIS thread.
All I can think of is shaft size must taper down on the splined section of the lobro then to the same as the tripod spline??

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Thats the thread. Ive emailed Marty directly because the how to isnt accesible, and thats one of the photos from his how to.
Yeh, for all the shaft diameters are different, the splined section is not (with the exception of the Cosworth).
Im not entirely sure how easy the old joints will be to remove, as I dont have one in front of me, but I dont see much of a problem with a decent set
of pullers (might even be bone idle and have the local garage do it)

it may fit on a 7 inch diff, but don't think so with a 7.5 inch diff...
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!

Yep, thats the way I understand it.
I didnt get the 7.5" diff in the end, the bloke was a muppet so Ive got a 7" 4x4 cossie diff on the way.

Sorry to bump this thread back to the top, but did you get anywhere trying to use the tripode outer joints and lobro inners with an LSD?
I've managed to get myself into a bit of a mess with some Golf rear calipers, I can't fit the brake banjo as it fouls the outer lobro
joint. I've got an LSD so I can't swap to a complete tripode setup, but if I could change the outer one to a tripode then that'd
solve my problem.
Thanks

Nah not had a chance to do it myself, but it is a widely accepted procedure over on the Sierra Owners Forum.
With a bit of luck, Ill get the new joints at the weekend and get it done.

some of the larger drum braked shafts plug straight into the sierra disc diffs after you have removed the outputs

Just an update for anyone wanting to do this.
Finally got the time to fit the new joints. Bit of a pain as you need to get hold of a donor set of shafts if you intend to fit new joints because
Ford dont sell the backing plates now and they dont come with the new joints.
All in all a good learning experience. Im happy there is going to be a bit of a weight saving but theyre not the easiest parts to source.
Just shout for any more info
