Title: DIFF IDENTIFICATION Post by: TorqueFC on June 15, 2005, 06:44:31 AM here is a pic of the diff that we just pulled out of a hr wagon
doesnt quite seem like a hr diff when stripping the car we noticed that the brakes were mounted in another position and also after removal, we measured it against a standard fc diff and it turned out shorter. it was my understanding that hr diffs were shorter so this leads me to expect that it is a torana diff any help would be great (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/pro_058fc_350/Campics2035.jpg) (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/pro_058fc_350/Campics2037.jpg) (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/pro_058fc_350/Campics2034.jpg) (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/pro_058fc_350/Campics2041.jpg) cheers Torque Title: Re: DIFF IDENTIFICATION Post by: TorqueFC on June 15, 2005, 06:45:23 AM also anyone know how how to tell what ratio it is???

the two "long" bolts at the bottom tell me that is most likely a torana diff. i am running a 2.78 in my HT which came out of a torana rear end which looks identical to yours. you will find the diff ratio stamped into the flange just behind the yolk. hope this helps denis Title: Re: DIFF IDENTIFICATION Post by: gp on June 15, 2005, 07:21:23 PM Hey Darcy,
Also if you're going to pull the diff centre out of the housing, the ratio is written on the crown wheel. Cheers, Graham Title: Re: DIFF IDENTIFICATION Post by: Dr_Terry on June 16, 2005, 06:17:21 AM Hi Guys.
The diff centre with the 2 long bolts is a 3.08 or a 2.78. These are seen in anything HK onwards, but more commonly in Toranas. AFAIK an HR diff is the same width as an FC diff, so the shorter one is probably a Torana LC/LJ/LH/LX converted to leaf spring mounts. If you post me the exact length (drum face to drum face) I can identify it for you. Dr Terry. |
