FC 427,

Hi thanks for your help , my engine / tranny set up is facing 6 *down , do yu mean i set the diff at 4 * down as well. I think Im gonna have too google some more info   lol

HI John,

References are the rear seal housing on the transmission is 6* down angle as governed by the Hadfield set up. Do I set the diff pinion flange to show what angle . Down or up ?

Thanks

Gaz

Hi Guys

I need some info on setting pinion angle on my diff. Have got 6 Degrees on rear of  turbo 350 transmission , do I set the diff pinion at 6 degrees opposite.

Hello all, just found out there is an inexpensive cable kit for column auto conversions.
Being a generic item- it has multiple settings and adjustments to accommodate.
The person to contact is Geoff at Curleys ph: (03) 517 417 29
Please tell him Jason from WA made the recommendation.
I don't want him thinking the interrogating phone calls have all been in vain  ;D hahahaha

Hi guys,

Can anyone give me some info on rear axles . Have got the 17x 7 showwheels in Hq pattern ready for the B/W diff . Can axles studs need  be changed re- drilled etc ..?????

 Hey Ken,
thanks again i will study a bit more ? run original springs with the shortened BW 78 first see how it goes and keep the hr ones and modify later if needed.

Hi Ken ,

Hi all ,
Has anybody got some ideas on setting up spring saddles for my VN commo diff into fc project. Am getting lots of differing themes and war stories etc . is it just re- use hr saddles welded to vn axle and combine with rubber mounts for the srings. any pictures would be great .

Gaz

Thanks guys , I had a trip to Melb today and visited the Showwheels store, really like the 17 x 7 streeters . As you guys hav mentioned i will measure up now , armed with some info gained from Show wheels. I have been reading all the threads related to rear ends and may still yet go with the old commie. VN i think is the one . Like everyone else new to the forum , i will post some pics when i work out how , Hav at least got a photobucket account as of last nite lol
