Toyota Corolla Borg Warner 68 Diff into Datsun 1200 or 120y

Hey guys,

I decided I better shed some light onto this diff conversion. Firstly the diff spring mounts are perfect distance apart. My diff came out of a KE50 (coupe) auto, and is a 4.3 ratio.

These are the problems i had:

- Shock mounts werent right (i'm still using them, just on a bit of an angle) - hope this will be ok.
- 120y flange does not fit the corolla diff - this is not only the ke50 but also the ke25(I think... not good with model numbers). It comes close 2 holes line up and 2 are aprox 1mm out
- Hand brake cables are a prick (no way you could fit unless you got the whole kit and kaboodle out of the rolla.

Some things i have learnt:

- Stock 1200 U bolts help with the diff mount
- Rolla diffs seem to be the same width as the 120y bw, but its the brakes which make it wider.
-This is a prick of a way to change ratios

Anyway any more qns shoot em my way
