    Default Vl Diff

    Hey guys Just wondering if anyone knew whether the dick brake diffs are with the discs are the same as the drum diffs, my brother in-law has one and said i could have it but don't want to **** around with having to do brake lines and all that sort of shit, just bolt up.


    cheers Scottie

    basically yes man all u need to change is handbrake cable to suit disk rear end.
    Disk to disk and diff was a 28 spline lsd Diff was for Vlturbo and V8 Models :P apposed to 25 spline on Na L,s
    The brake lines run along the diff and rear axle assembly right near the diff is a flex hose connecting to the body of the car with the streel lines. if u can get the diff and rear ass for your car the lines are all there for u on diff housing etc
    im just about to change my drums to disks i sourced from a Vn Commo. all i need to have done is my bearings pressed off and new ones pressed on with the collar and seals..(But still got weak 25 spline axles and not an LSD diff)
    goodluck man
