DIFFERENTIALS..or diffs

[adam perth]

HK 1837, i think the early ones from humpy to EJ were actually 3.89 stamped crownwheel. then later they were stamped 3.90 (i mostly pulled them out of 4 cyl toranas, mainly LX sunbirds.)

greg have you got a pic of the holden banjo with 2 longer bolts at the bottom for 2.78 / 3.08? As you know, always a good thing to look fo when buying rollers / cars to wreck with GU4 on ID tag and 2 longer bolts underneath cause it means $250 for the 3.08 centre.

the 2.6 diff was standard on the WB statesman, and thats the only place i have ever found them

From memory 2.78 Salisbury was dumped late in HJ as it was too noisy. 2.60 was then used from that time instead. I'll find the document later today that states it (features manual).

This is probably a gumby question to some but can you put the LSD centre out of a WB salisbury into a HX salisbury, i know they are different sizes physically but are the planetary, internal, gears interchangable

Yes you can use the WB large salisbury internals in a HQ-HZ salisbury. Just remember that there are 2 x different hemispheres theough (LSD and not LSD aside). 2.6 and 2.78 share a hemisphere and 3.08, 3.36, 3.55, (3.9) and 4.44 share a hemisphere. So you can't use a WB 2.6 hemisphere with 3.08 gears for example. You must use 2.6 or 2.78 gears on it.

Ive got a 3.55 out of a WB which is limited slip and a 3.08 HX single spinner and wanted to put the LSD components into the 3.08 diff if possible
