Diff housing mod's

[Marko]

Hi Guys,

I am looking for a workshop that can cut down housings, axles and re-assemble the centre.

I have spoken with the guys at WA Diff and Final Drive, cost so far is about $1200 if I deliver the complete assembly still together.

I would strip it down myself however a little scared about re-assembling the centre, as I have never done a 10 bolt.

Does the price seem ok??

Cheers Mark

what are you trying to do???

Hi Vintageholden,

I currently have 95mm clearance between my brake drum and the rear guard,

I have purchased 15x7 street pro's for the rear and need 113mm plus tyre bulge (maybe 20mm) = 133mm.

I there for need to cut my 10 bolt down by 38mm each side.

It would be easy to stick with shallow dish HQ stud wheels but thats not the look I am after. I wish it was, it would be loads cheaper!!

I was unable to get much info on the cheaper street pro's (than convo pro), so I took a gamble and ordered some to check it out for myself.

The street pro's meet aussie standards as the convo's do not, the look pretty good, 1 piece full alloy.

shortened my borgewarner by using 2 short shafts..in my ek ute...

[Marko]

Bat on the Forum dose the V6 conversions shortens diffs I'm think

I would try a pipe cutter will give you a nice square cut. I paid $800 for my BW with billet axless,

PS love the rims.
