Title: Diffs Post by: Snoop on November 22, 2019, 10:37:49 AM Hi Guys and Girls
Thinking of changing diff centre to 3. 36 plenty of diffs for sale but not sure if I have a course spline or fine spline diff n axles! Is there any way to identify what I’m running without popping an axle out? Also pretty sure a eh, hr, hd diff will bolt straight in without changing uni connections Any advice appreciate.

Original diff flange differs to EH on but the tailshaft flange is the same so just fit later uni joint and you'll need the u bolts which attach to diff flange. Sent from my SM-A705YN using Tapatalk Title: Re: Diffs Post by: ardiesse on November 22, 2019, 05:55:10 PM Snoop,
Clay's pretty much covered it. FE/FCs have coarse-spline axles. If the diff casting takes short bolts all the way around, it'll be a coarse-spline diff, and will suit FE/FC. Any 3.36 from EH right through to HG will be suitable. I have no experience of HQ-onwards to guide you though.

Cheers, Harv Title: Re: Diffs Post by: Errol62 on November 23, 2019, 10:20:26 AM God on you Harv. That completes the picture.

Thought it might have been luck of the draw what you actually have installed from factory.
Thought I’d try a 3.36 ratio after reading some threads on the subject of diff ratios with quite a few agreeing that this is an ideal ratio. Thanks Again Snoop Title: Re: Diffs Post by: Dr_Terry on November 24, 2019, 10:35:44 AM The banjo diffs were course spline through to early HZ (6 cylinder). The fine spline banjos were LJ XU1, LH/LX/HQ-HZ V8s and late HZ 6 cylinder. Cheers, Harv To my knowledge fine spline Banjos began in large Holdens around early HX around late 1976 (LX also at around the same time). Late LJ XU1s and 5.0 LH/LX also had them. 4.2 V8 LH/LX had course spline. HQ-HZ V8 & all One-Tonners had large Salisbury diffs with 28-spline axles.

A 3.55 works very well in my stock Humpy, and I have a 3.36 in my FC. Rob Title: Re: Diffs Post by: Errol62 on November 25, 2019, 11:36:01 PM I love a highway. As do a tall diff. Ar ee ar
