Got a welded locker H165 Centre if anyones Keen $80 including post. Came out of what i am sure is a H165 diff was said to be a shortened bluebird diff but i reckon its just a ute diff. It's an 8 bolt centre anyway so that makes it H165 either way, Doesnt it ? Although it has shortened bluebird Axles as I measured them against a H165 TRX Diff Axle and the guy removing the bearings said they have been shortened.

so will this bolt straight into a ute?

Even if a shortened bluey diff its still a H165 and will bolt in to a 1200 ute as long as your running the H165.

that's correct, the only issue that may arise is the tail shaft length because the 1200 ute 165 has a shorter flange plate that the tail shaft bolts to. The Bluebird ones are noticably longer but I'm unsure if they're the same length as a Stanza 165 item, I suspect they are.

Just in case anyone asks this is just the centre
not with shortened bluey housing of course.

Hey matey could you measure the flange plate of that centre and I'll measure mine, if they are the same length then I'll be interested

Yeah i did will reply with exact measurements but i measured it and then measured the standard centre out of the bluebird H165 both from mounting face to diff to mounting face of flange and there the same so Im assuming its a bluebird centre.

so just to clarify it wouldnt bolt straight into a ute diff?

Yes it will bolt straight into a ute diff but you may need to get your tail shaft shortened.
