Tobias Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Guys i have a P38 rear diff with a Trutrac installed. I have reinforced half shafts for D1 24 spline rear i have a Def 130 with bone stock rear disc brake salisbury I have both 1990-ish RRC axles and 1998-ish D1 axles Could i fit the p38 diff into an RRC axle casing? if i weld reinforcing steel onto top and bottom off RRC rear axle casing and use trutrac centre in short nose diff casing and reinforced half shafts, would i have made an improve,ent in dursbility over bone stock salisbury? To be honest the salisbury has Britpart halfshafts and HD drive flanges. Thanks tobias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Simple answer is "NO" Completely differing units, and as sussed will not fit a Long Nose axle. Cutting and rewelding the mounting ring is a seriously bad idea - just the smallest bit out and you'll have serious problems. Swapping axle tube and diff over is a better route ... but widths are different, so front will have narrower track than new rear Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
