change the axle housing?
the axles im putting in came out of that exact same diff from a 1200 ute, things ive changed:
-put sprung load locker in diff centre
-put vanette drums on axles
didnt get a chance to ring the guy that did the centre and havnt touched the car, probably wont till the weekend, thanks for your help guys, ill tell you what happens on the weekend
p.s. it just occured to me that the centre wasnt out of the diff, it was out of vanette and is a 4.875:1 ratio, if this possibly makes a diffrence
just to clear it up:
-vanette centre
-1200 ute housing thingy
-1200 ute axles
-vanette drums on axles
and just cause i feel like having a whinge, the 1200 u-bolts and bump stop dont fit around the ute diff, so i had to go and get vanette ones and elongate the hole on the 1200 shocker mount thing to keep the same shocker mount pin size to use old shockers, turns out vanette u bolts are marginaly too short and the spring washers on them got emmited (is this a bad thing, i was thinking of whacking a bit of locktite on the nuts would that be good enough? for rallying?) oh and no bump stops currently used
and because when people were talking about using a ute diff in a 1200 i said something about having to weld new mounts on, it turns out you dont, but i had to because the ute diff my bro in law had for me he got off a guy who cut the mounts off for a commodore diff conversion he was doing, thats what happens when you get stuff for free i suppose
another thing
when and if you get 120y leafs make sure you get the pin thats in the centre holding them together, i didnt and the 1200 ones too short, after struggling to undo the u-bolts on a 120y at pick-a-part (they were really stuck bad) i found that you cant use the leafs or pins off a 120y with the borg warner diff as that centre pins diffrent, and as that was the only 120y at the place so i ended up making my own at home but im not really happy with them as the top of the pin locates the diff housing on the leafs and im not sure how accurate that needs to be, mine isnt highly accurate at the moment is this bad? are you still reading this or did you give up a while ago? wait if you read this then its obvious isnt it? ah ill shut up now
