Don, did you locate a diff in Aus?

Yes Ian I did get a diff, but not sure if I am going to use it as it's better than mine, but in no way perfect.

I am looking at getting a crownwheel and pinion from a VL, VS diff and installing it in my housing. Never built a diff before, but it does not look that hard. I just need to make a special tool to torque the pinion bearing retainer with.

BTW this is not a GS diff, so I hope GS owners don't follow my lead.

That's good Don. What ratio have you got?

Ian, the ratio is 3.09. How does that compare with the GS ratios.

Don, that's the same as the stock GS ratio. From '83 onwards, some models had 2.9, but they're getting hard to find now. I'm running 2.9 on my 850. I'm looking for another for my current 850 BB rebuild project.
