making some diff centres

I have:

1x 3.9 front - complete
1x 3.9 rear - complete - welded
1x 3.7 front - no pinion flange
1x 3.7 rear - no pinion flange

I want to end up with:

2x 3.9 rear - complete - open

Whats the best way for me to do this? Is it even possible with 1 of the rears being welded? I don't really want any more diff bits sitting in my shed.

Also, I'm having a really hard time finding WT drag link / tie rod. Has anyone made up custom links? got any pics? :D :D Or if you have some sitting in your shed shoot me a pm.

Strip both the rears and fit the 3.7 crownwheel to the 3.9 centre in the 3.7 housing.
You can swap the flanges easily enough.

Mate , drag links are a fiddly area and can't be welded unless x-rayed so custom links are usually threaded , ball joint type ends are required as rose joint style rod ends are illegal. SUZIFOUR at dunheved sydney will have standard links available so give him a call on 02 9833 0216 , he will ship it to you , Cheers Paul.

I can swap it all over for you for a 1125 of Jimmy.
OR do a deal on WT rear axles if you have any.

In that case you are going to need a set of spider gears out of a rear diff (depending on exactly how the welding was done).
You should have asked a month ago.. I just sold a set. :?
Its not a huge job to change over and setup but it is a bit fiddly..
