I saved this info from the old toymods forum, can we still access it?
i've got so much sprinter stuff saved on my pc it's not funny
sprinter addiction??
I'll post it here
copyright blah blah
knowledge is wealth, share the wealth
I also remember something about the corona diff being a BW 23 spline, and LSD's are rare, maybe never existed.

Ill reply with an email i sent to Sam:
"Firstly, the diff was not a straigh bolt-in. That wasnt what i was after as a straight bolt in wouldnt have the strength that i require.
There are 10 main connections between a solid rear axle and the chassis.
Four lateral links: two long arms connecting below the diff and two short ones above. These bolted up without any hassles at all.
Driveshaft: at first inspection, the 4 bolt pattern appeared to be the same, but when checked side by side the sprinter diff had a rectangular shape, and the new diff had a square shape, ie two bolts lined up and two were just out. I had two choices, weld closed and redrill the two holes that are out OR drill four new holes, which i did. the bolts im referring to are the four short nut and bolt combos that connect the universal joint in the drive shaft to the diff.
Panhard Rod: Had to be lengthened by 35mm. Was hacksawed and a sleeve 60mm long was slid over and welded in place. Subsequently ground down and painted black.
Shock Mounts: the two lower shock absorber mount were too close to each wheel, the shock angle in a corona is much more than in a sprinter, as such the lower part of the shocks were colliding with the brake calpers. I simply redrilled and installed new bolts in a far better position for the shock mounts.
Spring Seats: the spring seat were designed for slightly smaller diametre springs. Choices were to either get custom springs made, grind off the springs seats and swap them from axle to axle or use existing springs but drill small holes in the seats and use thin wire to tie them into place. as of yet im just letting the springs sit in the smaller seats to see if they pop out, havent so far.
The track is actually a little wider, possibly 8 to 10mm. the rear wheels still fit perfectly in the guards.
And thats it. the install took me a weekend of on and off work on the car. Doing it again would take me less than 3 hours.
Ill take some pictures and post them on Toymods. The brakes are huge, easly larger than the stock 4ac front discs, and the diff is a BorgWarner Single Spinner and there are LSD centres available, just need to find the cheapest alternative."
Thats the extent of it. The image i posted of the driveshaft flange has four extra holes drilled in it, those are the old holes.
Also the shock mount had to be modified, see below pic.
the entire rear axle was changed for a Corona Unit, not just the rear drums for discs.
This was the most unusual part of the conversion.
Rear axle from a Corona.
