Given that the Sailsbury axle was made in Australia, are there any known
diff centre swaps with domestic vehicles?
An LSD disk brake Commodore rear end can be had for about $300.00, for
example.
If is is not a bolt in swap, what would be involved?
What kind of general and rear end specific stock do you have at the moment
Errol?
We talked before about the works rear end that you have, what are it's
specifications and cost?
Has anyone tried copying the Escort style axle strengthening alloy plate
that bolts up inbetween the rear cover plate and axle and extends along the
axle tubes, where it is fastened by U-bolts?
Also, has anyone tried fitting TRX rear discs to a Sailsbury housing, is it
straightforward?
Thanks,
NICK
