Title: VN V8 brakes and diff centre swap into VL diff housing
Post by: FCV08 on October 26, 2009, 12:09:40 AM
To all you astute engineers out there can anyone advise me on the following as I am trying to avoid the added costs of shortening the VN diff housing

1. Does the disc brake setup from a VN V8 fit straight onto a VL diff housing without modification.

2. Will the diff centre from the VN donor fit into the VL diff housing.

Thanks

Craig

The VL diff is too wide and has to be cut down anyway Craig, same as the VN.

Vn &Vl discs and calipers are the same the backing plates are the same  except one of them has the handbrake mech at the bottom of the backing plate and the other is at the top cant remember,the backing plates bolt up the same
