Before fitting the diff, just check the unis will fit into the yoke of the diff....I have found that disc braked diffs have 2 different uni sizes....one is smaller than the other.....the smaller ones are commonly referred to as 6 cyl unis and the others V8 ones. Of course, the u-bolts are different between the 2 as well.

I have 2 disc braked diffs here.....One has 3.08 ratio which has V8 unis and the other is 2.78 ratio, which has the 6 cyl unis.

If you need the tailshaft cut to suit the different unis, you'll be looking at $170 to $180 for the cut and re-balance....This is S.A pricing (as of today :) )....So something to stick in the memory bank

Thanks for the heads up, this one is a 6cyl diff with the small Uni, and it fits my 6 cyl!

Fitted up my tail lights, really tidies up the rear end, I'm in two minds whether to paint between the lights black like an sl/e, thinking it might tidy up the back more
