Diff's

[tiwaz_nz]

should be a strait swap .. you will need to sort out the master and maybe the brake lines  and drive shaft ... well thats what i am hoping as i have a 350 powered jumbo with front disks and plan on swaping that into my 79 swb ... only my jumbo is an early 70's

Hi
  Just a quick question, is the front end off a 78 cf bedford SWB the same as the LWB. The reason being is the local wreckers have a LWB with a 307 chev and a disc brake front end. As i want to convert my drums to disc.

Thanks Matt

Same as Matty...swapped my whole crossmember n front end from my last CFS into my Jumbo that i have now...

Ok, after talking to all the right people, well so I'm told, I will be staying with the 4.1 single wheel Jumbo diff behind the TH700 as I have a Manural swith to lock T converter, hooked up. Yes will use a little more Gas, but will be on LPG, so should be ok, shouldn't use more than an 8 any way.

Best way is try it and see

Yes that is right, but because all the mounts have to be changed to fit the duel wheel setup, a bit of work, but little cost involed, well have weled it all up now, will lift the Beddie next weekend and roll it under, also sitting on 15" x 60 x 275 so should give a little better gearing....

Still trying to hunt down x2 9" drums, anybody in NZ.... Can I use another 9" drum and fill and redrill studs

Ok looks like the diff is off to the scrap metal guys............. no were else to look for 9" drums back to the 4.1 gears I guess

Bas, wish I could help. My spare is the 10inch setup. Stuey has been threatening to replace his existing axle with the Borg Warner modified one I organised him over a year ago. His existing setup has a Cresta centre and 9 inch drums. Drop him an email to see if you can hurry him along.

Have you tried new drums? try BNT or that place off Lincoln road (opposite the netball courts, down the road from the Green), they sell all brake stuff, blank discs, hq .... might do drums
