What diff are you using ?

[Trev]

Just change the wheel off-set .

[axeman]

call Rodtech in adelaide they can cut down your diff for $400 -$500 with resplined axles or go lc-lj torana diff with leaf spring hangers welded on


Cheers Axeman

rick it all depends on your off set

you have your wheels so its going to make it hard to find somthing to fit perfect unless you get one cut to size
you could try a volvo diff or torana diff but again it depends on off set

ask thommo if you can try your wheels on his fb to see if they will fit he has a hr diff cut down to torana size diff
or camron he has a volvo diff see if they fit either of them and go from there

i have there numbers im sure they would help out

cheers dave

IIRC, I think that volvo diffs are about 1" shorter on each side and LC/LJ torana are about 1.5" shorter on each side. Don't quote me on that though!

Also, have a look at olskule's ek for an awesome example of guard flaring.

I have a volvo diff here and it's the same as HR, don't know about different models.

If you can get hold of a Volvo or Torana diff (whichever suits) Lance Walker can weld on the spring mounts for $100, he did the Volvo diff I got from Dave a while back (http://www.walkerchassis.com.au).
Torana is shorter, Volvo is stronger but I am not sure of the width, the diff I have doesn't have the discs on .

Find yourself an LJ housing and axles - you can use your centre in it.

thanks Blacky

Find yourself an LJ housing and axles - you can use your centre in it.

get under and do some measuring first as you may not have the room on the inside, from memory the LC/LJ diff is shorter by 11/2" each side so make sure you have that to spare on the inside

will do ratbox
