The centres should swap but the rangie would be 3.54, the series is 4.7. The locker should swap into the 4.7 centre. They should both be 10 spline unless someone has changed axles.

There will be a difference in the thickness of the crown wheel flange /seat as the the crown wheels are a different thickness i cant remember wich one is thicker im leaning towards the 4.7 being thicker and using the locker from the 3.54 diff wont work unless you have some machiened off the face were the crown wheel seats .....

Id be more inclined to fit the 3.54 raitos to the series that way you will hear the engin over the howl of the gear box :D :D :D :D :D

The 4.7 crown wheel is narrower than the 3.54 one, so you will need to get a spacer machined up to make up the difference in the thickness.

Yep ok well like i said there is a difference in the spoolwere the crown wheel seats and im sure its thicker in the spool from the rangie with the 3.54 so maby you could have the face machiened to suite id say someone else will coment on this soon enough but im sure ive got it right and its not a straight swap

x3. Or see if there are any left in the Maxi-Drive stock that is apparently being sold off. Used to be an off-the-shelf item.
