    VB sedan from 8 bolt open (small) Salisbury diff to VL Borg Warner. Tail shaft questions.

    I can pickup for free as I go to Sydney a few times a year. And like I said, that was 4 years ago, so likely be more, plus the other option is brand new and includes a new front half too.

    VB sedan from 8 bolt open (small) Salisbury diff to VL Borg Warner. Tail shaft questions.

    Wow ok, that's a lot more than I expected and its probably more these days. I can get a brand new unit for less than that so will consider that https://www.bandzautopartsrepair.com.au/products/holden-commodore-sedan-vl-v8-manual-t5-gearbox-new-tailshaft

    VB sedan from 8 bolt open (small) Salisbury diff to VL Borg Warner. Tail shaft questions.

    Ok so my CV is 100mm OD. It must have been upgraded when the 304/T5 were put in. Anyone know ballpark figure for shortening of a tail shaft? I have a VS V8 rear half that is 100mm OD I can use but its too long.

    VB sedan from 8 bolt open (small) Salisbury diff to VL Borg Warner. Tail shaft questions.

    I have confirmed the heavy duty CV is 100mm OD, and the regular CV is 94mm. The VL 6cyl n/a uses the 94mm from all reports. Not sure what my VB 253 small 8 bolt Salisbury non lsd disc braked came with, so going to get under and measure on the weekend. My guess is it will be the 94mm. The 100mm...

    VB sedan from 8 bolt open (small) Salisbury diff to VL Borg Warner. Tail shaft questions.

    Wow, yeah smorgasbord. I haven't bought the VL 6cyl n/a tailshaft yet so can't measure. But I will measure my current one, and see if the seller can measure the VL 6cyl n/a one. Thanks again for all the info. PS - I found hiy-po's pics from a previous thread. The larger one looks like 100mm OD...

    VB sedan from 8 bolt open (small) Salisbury diff to VL Borg Warner. Tail shaft questions.

    Thanks for the info. Is it safe to assume a n/a 6cyl VL tail shaft CV is the smaller one (90mm)? If so I just need to measure my current one (being a VB 253 car with small open diff Salisbury I am confident it is smaller one too) and that would confirm it.

    VB sedan from 8 bolt open (small) Salisbury diff to VL Borg Warner. Tail shaft questions.

    Sorry I used the wrong terminology, the centre CV (which I was calling uni) is what I was asking about, to see if it was compatible with my current CV. Although I just realised my current tail shaft front half and CV might not be a stock small Salisbury even though the diff is, because I bought...

    Awesome. Just what I wanted to hear! I saw some people talking about a big uni and a small uni so just wanted to check. Thank you.

    VB sedan from 8 bolt open (small) Salisbury diff to VL Borg Warner. Tail shaft questions.

    The VL V8/turbo shafts are hard to find and expensive. Would rather go the back half of a VL n/a 6 if it will fit with what I have now. I guess that's what I am trying to find out. Does anyone know if the centre CV/uni from my current small Salisbury VB tail shaft the same size and compatible...

    VB sedan from 8 bolt open (small) Salisbury diff to VL Borg Warner. Tail shaft questions.

    Great thanks. The n/a 6cyl ones are easy to find so I was hoping it would fit to the front half of my current tail shaft. The V8/Turbo ones seem a lot harder to find and more expensive. So just confirming the 8 bolt small Salisbury tail shaft is compatible with the VL 6cyl n/a borg warner tail...

    VB sedan from 8 bolt open (small) Salisbury diff to VL Borg Warner. Tail shaft questions.

    Hi. About to do a diff conversion on my VB 304/T5 converted commodore from stock 8 bolt open salisbury to a VL Turbo/V8 borg warner. Looking for the back section of a VL tailshaft to bolt up to the current front half of the existing tail shaft. Can I use the back section of a N/A 6 cylinder VL...
