Just pulled a 3:08 diff centre out of a HR i am fiddling with.
Gunna chuck it in the FB van whch has a HR rear end/ housing .
The 3:08 has 2 extended housing bolt holes at the bottom.
which require long bolts to reach the housing
HR housing has only the bottom hole with a thread in it. Just wandering what you guys with 3"08s in HR rear ends have done to get a thread in the left side bolt hole. On a normal HR housing there is a stud pressed into a spilne. I have to knock this out... and that means no thread to take the left side long bolt??
Was thinking nutcert ...debcon the nut in the housing??... would be better if i weld a nut in the housing.. how do ya weld a nut on the inside of the banjo ?????.
Any suggestions.???????????
I asked the son where the diff came from ( it was his HR until last week) ??
He said he pulled it out of a LH torana that had 2 bolts through the long housing holes...
How did ya tighten the lower left bolt??
"I didnt .. i just knocked the stud out and used silastic to hold the bolt in place to stop the oil running out !!! "......
... i fainted. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... i wandered why there was all slinging all over the fuel tank etc......
Lucky i got to it when i did .. a few hundred K and the diff would have run out of oil... one rooted 3:08 centre
He is not my son.... honestly.... he is the offspring of some bush mechanic
