Hey fellas,

I'm just in the process of fixing some rust underneath my EK and scraping all the body deadener from under it to put down a fresh coat, and since the body is on its side it makes it very easy to do..

Anyway, i'm hoping that i can have all this repaired and finished by the weekend to put the body back right way up. My question however is this..

I have a 186, a 3spd All Syncro out of an LH Torana, and a Grey diff. I read earlier tonight that you can use a red diff center in a grey housing, its a straight bolt in apparently.. but what i'm wondering is if i can run HQ axles (whether they be stock, or shortened) in the diff as well, as i have HQ brakes on the HR front end already.

I know of a HR diff locally that is rightfully mine, but the owner isn't getting back to me since two years ago when i bought a parts car off him and left the original EK diff with him as he wanted to swap them. So with that being said, and there being a bit of uncertainty as to whether i'll get that diff i'd like to know of my options.

Also if someone has a cheap HR diff in Bris they'd like to part with that'd suit me fine too

HQ wont go even if cut down, go get the hr rear end.

Thanks for the reply Trev. I tried calling the bloke and his number seems to have been disconnected. I was in the area near his house earlier and did a drive by and his EK is gone from the front yard, and no car parts to be seen. I think its possible he's moved somewhere else..

In other news.. a mate potentially has a HR diff i can have for free. Yay
