Hello Dodgeman,
sorry if my info seems misleading, but I have a 5 speed b/b wagon in the shed that I'm pulling apart and it has an 8 bolt H165(b) ?? diff with a 35/9 centre. The alloy centre H190 I got out of an urvan has 10 bolts but appears to use the same size and spline axles as the H165.
I thank you for the flattery. It won't get you "anything", but it will get you as much info as i can provide.
According to my parts book, ALL series 1 & 2 Bluebirds use the same axle shaft [38162- W1000] This means that the spline in the side gears of both the H165 & the H190 diffs that were fitted to these cars, are the same.
It would appear that this spline was widely used, & may be common to all versions of these two diffs for all i know.
While the H190 diff center will not fit into a rear axle housing that is designed for the smaller H165b diff, the Bluebird axles will none the less fit into the side gears of either of them. I guess that the 1200 ute axle shafts splines will fit either one also
I do not know which, if any, H190 compatible axle housing can be used successfully under a 1200.
This is prety much the same dilema facing 1000 owners. I haven't found any other rear axle assembly that is narrow enough to serve as a replacement, as these seem to be the narowest of the small Datsuns.
If i remember rightly, someone [Dattoman_1000?] said that the '64 Datsun Bluebird [410?] has just the solution, but these are a bit thin on the ground these days, so i have not been able to check.
Plan B is therefore to use a H150 diff center, in place of the H145, which will fit, but needs a spacer to push the whole diff center slightly further foward. I'm working on that one.
