Yes all 75series stuff is interchangable. And for interest sake, they are not a swb they are a mid wheel base.
Cheers.

While were on the subject, do you guys know if a 79 series rear diff will fit into a MWB BJ74, or both diffs for that matter? (rear dics brakes)
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.

Late modle troppy came out with rear disc brakes and they have the same centre as the middy, i think the 78/79 have differnet centres not to shore on width.

The rear diff is the same dimesionally but if you where swapping centres from say a 78/79 to a 75 they don't fit without a little bit of grinding to the housing to clear the crown wheel.

Further to this a 79 front is coils your old BJ74 should have leaf springs, the best thing for you to do if yuor thinking of changing diffs is add some width by using either 60 series gear or 80 series.

Just for interest sake i have a set of late model 75 diffs a.k.a high pinion front and disc brake rear pretty much complete that i'm looking to get rid of as i don't use that kind of gear anymore.

Pm me for a price.

Ok, thanks. Does that mean it has the bigger axle spline and 10 mm wheel studs the same as the 100 as well.
