now my question is on the borg diff from a vk is this bit longer on a vl one? and i know its a salsbury diff its just a refrence. also where my center bearing on tailshaft bolts up it is treded has anyone fixed one of these pricks before?

I used a VL diff in my old VH, and used the rear half of the VK borgy tailshaft....didn't run into any probs....since then I sold my VL diff and we've got a few VK borgy diffs, which have bolted in the same with the same tailshaft with no probs.....so altho I don't know for sure if they're different, I'm 99.99% sure they are the same....they'd have to be....the only major difference between them is the gears and the VL diff is slightly wider.

I had a stripped out hole for the centre bearing.....was also in my old VH.....my uncle helped me fix it, I rekon he rethreaded it with a tap and die set. If worst comes to worst, pull up ya carpet and drill out the hole, weld a nut to the floor and put new bolts in underneath.

thanks for that i dont know why its not fitting the ive got the vk tail shaft in and its say about one inch off at the center bearing but if i split it and use salsbury its to long and dosnt fit im stumped

Consider a helicoil in the nut rather than welding in a replacement.

Can u take some photo's of ur tailshaft and underneath ur car where the tailshaft bolts up? Would love to have a suss coz something doesn't seem right.

[leigh 7005]

ive got some pictures of the tailshafts so you can have a look [IMG] [/IMG]

[leigh 7005]

this is how it bolts to the diff[IMG][/IMG]

Hmmm.....the only thing I can think of is maybe it's not a VK borgy tailshaft. Where bouts did u get it from? As VL's and VN's and onwards have different transmissions all together, could it be out of one of them?

[leigh 7005]

na i actuly pulled it out of a vk at upullit

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

The top one isn't a 6 cyl one is it?

[leigh 7005]

yes it is why is that?

[leigh 7005]

dont tell me i need a v8 one lol as not many vl v8

[leigh 7005]

only pressure cooker 6es and na

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

What exactly are you trying to do. ie: Car-engine-transmission-diff.

[leigh 7005]

i have changed the diff to borg insted of salsbury

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

In what? VB SL/E V8?

[leigh 7005]

yea vb sle v8

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

You are going to need the front half of the original tail shaft and the rear of a BW tail shaft. Or you can change the rear yoke on your original tail shaft.

[leigh 7005]

nope unis are diffrent and ive tryed front salsbury borg rear still no go

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Are you using a 6 cyl tail shaft as the original unit? Was that one in the picture out of the car? Then that is your problem. You need a V8 shaft as they are longer at the front. That will put the centre bearing in the correct position, then it is a matter of using the rear half of a V8 BW shaft.

Nice to see people stealing my pics for them selves!.

Anyway, the area where the centre bearing bolts up, i took mine out cause both threads were rooted and put in bolts in there, so now it has two studs.

[leigh 7005]

was that your picture? i googled salsbury 10 bolt pictures and thats what came up

[Cane_It]

a complete V8 VL tailshaft goes straight in, dont have to stuff around with a VB-VK front and VL rear

[leigh 7005]

really do you know anyone with one? anyone? i really need to get my beast running again its been 3 years and the toyota creshitta dosnt cut it lol
