Hi Bobby,

The 7 series diffs are very big, I should have a measure before you buy it.

The driveshafts and brakes are also pretty big and the hubs are attached to the trailing arms (like the 3 series) - this means that you'll probably need to make new hub carrirers up to fit a similar upright to the sierra one.

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers

Chris

Internally you need to match the outer diameter of the wheel bearings. Eternally you need to be able to bolt or weld the bearing carrier to the upright in a similar way to the sierra hub.

I'll do you a little sketch later

Cheers
