cheers terry mate sounds like a very good diff upgrade especially as i have
the 5 speed and the 195x60x14s as well sort of like the missing link hey :)
And yeah i would have top agree about the wreckers thats just like mechanics
if ya use em if ya find a good one stik to em. But yeah im gonna just pinch
one of a wrecked series 2 out of the quokka missed out on a bargain the
other day free complete 240k had brakes g/box diff m/cylinder etc all
useable bugger hey
And as for brakes yeah i was thinking there is a kit out there made by
maddat motorsport i think was only 800 and again uses the original handbrake
cables as mine are brandnew it would be a plus over the fiddling about with
the r31 but if u still have that info on hand about the swap it would be
appreciated :) cheers again terry
