Hi All,

With a view to the long trip to the Nationals this year, I'm looking for a good, non-whining 3.36 coarse spline banjo diff centre. Anyone got one spare that they know is a good unit?

I'm located Northern Sydney area.

Cheers

Good one, prices can be all over the place for them these days , going rate in WA is $50-$100 for an unknown unit but you need to be quick.

They sure can. People were asking $400 - $500 in unknown condition, which is too much. The one I found was out of a HZ wagon apparently and I paid $195 plus courier. I could see from the photos that the crown wheel looked to be in great condition. I was quoted $895 for a fully reconditioned single spinner coarse spline 3.36 and $3k for an LSD one :shock:

Craft Differentials, who Harv put me onto, told me last year the big problem with old red motor Holden banjo diff centres is that the crown and pinion gears are wearing out after 50 - 60 years of use. Tall ratios like 3.08 and 2.78 aren't so much of a problem, but the lower 3.55 and 3.36 ones are. No one is making new ones.
