Thankyou very much
you have been very helpfull indeed.my plan is to put p38 axles under my jeep cherokee.landrover moving the front diff to the opposite side means less fabrication of the donor axles.
the drive/coast question is to determine which way the pinion turns to get forward motion clockwise/anticlockwise.with the crown wheel being on the right side it will mean that the pinion turning anticlockwise will produce forward drive,which is also a result....
the weight and size is perfect for my plan and the axles will have to be upgraded to accomodate large wheels by changing the ratios etc.
the plan is to do a four link setup on the front and to copy that to the rear.
the p38 uses trailing arms and a panhard rod at the rear ??
many thanks
