hey ness the cheapest option by far at the moment would be to buy a second hand beddy diff with good axels and bearings (ant the right type.. there are 2 kinds for the swb) and just swap over..

otherwise your looking at $250 each side.. then probably close to another $100 to get the old ones riped off and the new ones pressed on!!!

$600 for 2 bearings is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! craig (hammers spanners) is looking into modifying the beddy housing to fit a different bearing.. but that is on his list of things to do.. which is pretty darn long....

finally finished the cabin 'over head' panelling and its all varnished and shiny, finished the overhead console wired with power and timber trim varnished and completed, very pleased with the results so started on the custom dash, was doing all good till I broke the choke cable and then the light switch (bbaahhhh) I will fit a small fuse panel as I am currently running the stereo from the accessories lead direct from the dash. I am powering the stereo memory direct from the battery (constant power) and will need to run the front interior lights off this as well and position the fuse panel so I can replace fuses without taking the stereo out.   

Was thinking of doing another raid on the camper for the light switch, before I do can anyone suggest a compatable light switch (must be the pull out type same as the original cause I got a hole in the dash where the light switch would have gone if I hadn't broke the bustud)   

I gotta work the next two weeks then I got 2 weeks off to get the tow van completed, roadworthy and registered, I will be replacing the 9" diff with the borg warner centred beddie diff, I also want to change the stud pattern on this diff from beddie to HQ. I also need advice on a ratio suitable for towing, the tow van has 253, Ozzie 4 speed and 14" rims.  I need someone to do the work, any suggestions for diff in Melbourne?

you got your borg wagner diff back eddy!!! nice work!!!!!!!!! i thought it was gone forever that diff..

well i think transdiff quoted me 100 bucks a side for stud pattern change.. but they are pretty expensive i think.. so not sure.
