You could swap the axles, but then you'll end up with a different PCD front and rear and need 2 different pairs of wheels. Assuming the wheels bearings are the same and then you need to swap the brakes.

New 24 spline side gears made in Oz (unknown quality) are about £165 plus post.

Ah crap... PCD?

Well, I thought that this thing would be to good to be true...

[TOOL]

PCD = Pitch Circle Diameter

The distance between the wheel studs.

Ok, I see.
Well, thats no problem because I have to build front end from scratces too. My plan is to swap FBs engine, gearbo, diff and suspension to another car, maybe Mazda 1800 -67. Also, I think I have go play with wheels and spacers anyway

Earlier today I was happy because I didnt beleive my luck, I found rare part HERE, in middle of nowhere. Now Im pissed because seems like I cant use it... :|

Anyway, thanks for your help mate, I really appriciate it.

No worries. You can make it work, but you'll need to change the CWP and the side gears aka most of it.

Someone with a S3 drag car would want it I reckon.

CWP?

Seems like first I have to try to find s3 axlels.

I allready talked to friend about custom made axlels. Seems like thats one option too.

I´m not happy now, I really wanted to keep that diff. :/ I quess I have to sell it...

[TOOL]

CWP = crown wheel and pinion (the 5.125)

Too many TLAs

Um, can I just take those 24 spline side gears from that stock diff and put them to LSD diff?

No, they're totally different.



LSD gears on the right

Ah, crap. So there is no way to do a "hybrid" version from those two diffs...
