Hello to you all, just joined and found this site very usefull,

but got a question for you,

i've got a L200 i'm trying to find a 28 sline 8" front diff so i can run a ARB in it,

drove 150miles yesterday to pick up what i thought was what i'd been looking for,

it was 28 spline and the right ratio 4,875 but when i got it home it was a 7.25" diff,

i thought all the 28 splined diff's were 8" :cry:

Welcome to the board as long as your not a Dipper supporter :twisted:
No mate their not.
Earlier low pinion 7.25" front diffs were 25 spline later ones were 28 spline.
As far as I can tell the change was made around the late 80's / early 90's.
The good news is that all 8" front diffs are 28 spline :D

Does the RD110 fit the 8" 28 spline or 7.25" 28 spline?

Cheers scott, thought so,

just taken the 7.25" 28 spline back, which came out of a 2.5 manual,

the guy had a front diff front a V6 manual which was 8" 28 spline 4.875 :cool:

so we did a swap, so i've now got the right diff, time to get the ARB fitted.
