It will bolt up to a GQ RB30 gearbox, and like Mark says 95% they bolt up to a RD28 gearbox too

Re: Adjustable Radius Arms

Would it perhaps be easier to make one (or both) diff mounts adjustable a bit (maybe bolt on with shims) then you could use off the shelf arms and still have a few degrees of adjustment for your castor? how much adjustment do you want?
