HELP !! Diff fitting !! or not...

[Andy_B]

After a quick google and removing the tag from the diff its a 3.91:1 ratio...please tell me this will be ok....???

You have to modify chassis/diff mount plate - not diff itself.
I don't think that chopping diff is a good idea

3.91 it's quite short ratio... it depends what you expect, but top speed will suffer...

I think standard Sierra diff is 3,62:1 ratio and is more suitable for lightweight roadster.

I did this the other day on a 7.5" was not too much trouble.

If you get a 2nd bracket and weld it to the edge of the bracket so its flush then cut out the top of the original bracket. All you then need is a longer bolt m12x60 and a 28mm spacer.
