Hi Guys,

I am looking for a workshop that can cut down housings, axles and re-assemble the centre.

I have spoken with the guys at WA Diff and Final Drive, cost so far is about $1200 if I deliver the complete assembly still together.

I would strip it down myself however a little scared about re-assembling the centre, as I have never done a 10 bolt.

Does the price seem ok??

Cheers Mark

Hi

Mate Phil is the best at final drive but been told he only does 9 inch diff now if he cuts its but won't build it try todd at cawley automotive in cannington he's good and used to work at W.A diff centre

Brad

what are you trying to do???

Hi Vintageholden,

I currently have 95mm clearance between my brake drum and the rear guard,

I have purchased 15x7 street pro's for the rear and need 113mm plus tyre bulge (maybe 20mm) = 133mm.

I there for need to cut my 10 bolt down by 38mm each side.

It would be easy to stick with shallow dish HQ stud wheels but thats not the look I am after. I wish it was, it would be loads cheaper!!

I was unable to get much info on the cheaper street pro's (than convo pro), so I took a gamble and ordered some to check it out for myself.

The street pro's meet aussie standards as the convo's do not, the look pretty good, 1 piece full alloy. Certainly open to advice etc.

The van should arrive here early next week, time to do some driven.

Cheers Mark

do 10 bolts have a short and long axle?
shortened my borgewarner by using 2 short shafts..in my ek ute...

unfortunately not, gas axe it is.

Bat on the Forum dose the V6 conversions shortens diffs I'm think

I would try a pipe cutter will give you a nice square cut. I paid $800 for my BW with billet axless,

PS love the rims.

Cheers
