What is needed to fit

NT centres into WT housings? are the carriers different? Does it matter if i use two front centres or i need a F and R?

cheers

I'm interested to know too.

From what I've read so far, the 1.3L NT is interchangeable with 1.3L WT but a 1.0L NT centre won't fit into either the NT or WT 1.3L diffs.

I would like to know if anyone has used just the crownwheel and pinion from a 1.0NT centre (3.9 ratio) with the centre from a 1.3L. In other words, are the crownwheels the same size??

The wt is 3.7 and NT 1.3 is 3.9 ratio.
1.0 is 4.1 ratio.

Still wondering how to do it at moment.

1.3ltr nt centres are the same housings etc will bolt straight into a wt , the old wt and 1.3 nt have 3 pin spider pins where as the newer 1.3 wt ran single pin (weaker) spider pin , if you were to install a detroit ez locker you would need to source a 3 pin centre (1.3 nt ,early wt)

the difference between the front and rear centres are the side gears , (bigger rear axles) alls you need do is remove the side gears from the front and replace them with the ones from a rear and all is good
