Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ok i have a small problem i have got the 1.3lt diffs under project "gremlin" and i went to bolt up the drive shafts and i found that the bolt holes dont line up so what i want to know is what have people done to overcome this? i know i can drill the holes out (but do i drill the drive shaft or the diff flange) but what else have people done? Can i put the 1.3lt driveshaft end onto the 1lt driveshaft (are the unis the same?)???


Any advice will be helpfull as i would like to be driving this thing soon

yah just use the WT yoke on the 1L shaft

do you have a pic so i can see what you are actually talking about and can i do the same for the front diff as well

1.3 ans 1.0 narrow tracks use same size unis, just 1.3's have exterior clips, unlike the 1.0 with interior clips.
I not sure if that is true for wt but think it is.

to convert my 1.3 gearbox to my 1.0 driveline I used half the 1.0 and half the 1.3 yokes.
Should be same process for tailshaft to diffs

PS.
I used 1.o unis, with internal clips, because if you use 1.3 unis, the cap has no way of being held in.
But you can use 2 caps of a 1.3 and 2 of a 1.o on the uni, whatever you got thats best.

thanks for that guys so now its just a run out to the wreckers tomorow to get a couple of parts and then i should be able to drive it soon (as soon as i get the motor and fuel tank sorted out that is)

I also believe you can remove the flange from the 1.3 diff and slide on the 1.0 flange, as another choice.
But I'm not sure about wt stuff, need to learn more.

ive only gone 1lt nt to 1.3lt nt so i guess i might just have to raid my 1lt diffs and change the flanges around.

Does anyone want some 1lt diffs???? there going cheap!!!!

you can put 1.3 flanges on your 1L tcase

you can put 1.3 flanges on your 1L tcase

thats fine but i am doing this on a tight budget and i have changed the diffs and not the t/case and i have the 1lt drive shafts (and spare 1lt diffs that were originally on it) so i dont see the point of spending more money than i have to to get 1.3lt drive shafts that i dont really need
