im pretty sure, not 100% but the crown's do have F series diff's right???

He never searched. Now he wants help with his sticky situation. A cursory glance would have given him the MS112 diff solution. Another search would have confirmed what diff every Australian Crown from 1967 through to 1986 had.

so things that may need to be considered are;
-overall axle length
-bearing diameter
-major differences in the flange (NFI what its proply called) on the end of the axle where the studs sit in
- bearing retainer thickness and the 4 bolt hole pattern
|
We know what to consider, which is why the helpful advice (readily available with a search) was offered before the rare car was destroyed.
Does it sound like I'm moralizing? It should. A lack of research has landed him in the shit. He clearly doesn't listen so why offer advice?
|
Alas he has already destroyed a much better looking car to acquire said mk2 diff to put into a very ugly model celica (come on we are being honest  )  (oh I'm guessing you told him in the first place when he was looking for an F series diff to get an MS112 one? In that case I see where you are coming from  )
As far as I'm aware he doesn't need 5 stud, but I'm guessing that like the rest of us he would like to be able to find wheels with a offset that will fit one day...
I suggest he take the MXxx diff back and get an ms112 one (also has the bonus of avoiding the wrath of dave )
Cheers
