I thought the 2wd were slightly narrower? I prepared to be proven wrong.

Zookster666, take a measurement of yours if you want, and I can compare to one I have tomorrow.

Sorry about being slow getting back to this

Strangely the 2 rear 4wd housings I have measure 1235mm for the axle mounting surfaces (where the backing plate bolts to on the end of the housing). So actually smaller :?
One housing is LN46 and the other is LN65.
Couldn't get WMS to WMS without pulling the wheels off of dads car. Hope the axle mounting surface measurement will be adequate.
