The Defect 3 (July '74 120Y) has has a BW 68 transplanted under it... but I have heard a metallic "tink tink tink" when I was driving it hard, have a spare BW 68, but I do have a H150 (under a July '75 120Y) I could redo if I needed to...

BW68 was fitted to AUS-assembled 120Y 1976-1978, which means sedans only
Both have parts available, the M68 I think was used in the 2007 bakkie
H150
* lots of gearsets (CWP/R&P) from 3.545 to 4.625
* LSD is very, very rare (there is one for sale on Yahoo today)
* Crush tube is NLA (used when installing gearsets) but can reuse the old one with washers if needed
BW68 (M68) was used by many vehicles in AUS and ZA
* Australia-assembled KE70 Corollas
* some MKII Ford Escorts
* some Cortina
* AUS Mitsubishi Sigma 6.75 diff
* Australia assembled Corona
* TX and TC Gemini (Australia-assembled)
* South Africa-built Cressida
* Escort RS2000 South Africa used an M68 LSD
* South Africa M68 Escort (Johannesburg axle)
* Nissan 1400 bakkie

yeah BW68 crush tube is NLA too
was mainly curious about bearings and stuff as if I'm gonna redo the BW68 I want it done PROPERLY...
would like new bearings rather than something 35+ years old...
guess I need to find the spare BW68 and have a look at it's internals
BW68 was put in as I wanted to run a L18 and 4 speed (vetoed as dad said it'd be too powerful)
and yeah diff is out of an aussie assembled 120Y (March '77)
biggest wirry I have now is is I took the car the diff came from through a salt flat and all the bolts on the back case are all nicely rusted up...
thankfully I have 2 spare BW68's (forgot I have a late model 120Y sedan that is pretty much identical to the project car (August '77)
