Dont know why you guys stuff round with these old hard to find diffs they cost heaps to buy then you have to have the axels redrilled they are hard to get parts for @ i think there just not worth it Get yourself a late model commodor diff @ widen it useing 2 long axels like in my diff posts easy to do & cheap to buy &you can get parts for them anywhere & bonus disc brakes Mine cost less than 100 bucks Just my 2bobs worth Cheers Reid
