Hey guys, well here it is, the pics of my diff, good luck identifying it, my mechanic seemed to think it is a ford diff, because there are no markings on it, who knows.

Hey Julian, this where we cut the spacer from, the red drum thingy, we cut the center out with the stud holes and used it between the axel and backing plate, perfect thickness.

Thanks George
The front brakes are no problem have to alter the HQ calipre template for the VN calipre they are different but easy enough       The rears
are now  under control,  rang the difff man that is going to change the ratio and he has a number of different size axles and he has some that will fit.    cost about $200 each.   Just have to work a bit longer for some more funds, lol.... Might see if I can get a short wheel base axle and see if there is a major or minor difference in the size of the end of the axle.   I'm pretty sure the work Ive done so far for the disc brakes will still fit the short wheel base as well

would i be right in assuming, due to the inspection plate on the back, it is a salisbury diff

its out of an early ford, offset type falcon thev used 2 diffs and put both the long tubes on the housing.

borg wagner.. could be out of a ford, or a valiant or anything really.

here are some photos. of 3 different ones, 2 in beddies and one that came from a beddie.

does it have bedford axels/housings or is it still standard or like what craig said?

lots of beddies have borg wagners in them, must have been a good conversion and pobably still is a good option.

Hey ben, yeah if it is a conversion, it was a good one. I use to drive it to work everyday back in the late 90s, b4 the crash, and i can tell you this, it used to cruise along real smooth on the freeways. It was a dream to drive. I may have a way of getting the van started again, just need to get rid of some bills and i may have a contact to try and finish the van off. As for getting it done b4 the nats next year that may be a stretch, but i will be there all the same.
