F and G series diff front flange swap?	Sat, 24 September 2005 03:12

Just wondering whether the front flange on the diff where it bolts to the tailshaft is the same on F and G series diffs? Not the actual bolting pattern to the tailshaft, but where the seal is. Can you swap them over? I am interested in using the flange from an mx83 G diff and putting it into my mx73 F diff (7m conversion, using mx83 tailshaft). Thanks [Report message to a moderator]

I'm pretty sure it won't work. Having said that, I have modified my F series flange to bolt up to a G series tailshaft (Hilux). It's not hard to do. [Report message to a moderator]

Ok, thanks. Just take that flange to a machinist and get them to drill the holes to match the tailshaft pattern? Also, do you know what size the bolt holding the flange on is? Largest socket I have is 1-1/8th inch but it's larger than that.. [Report message to a moderator]

Your Japanese car will have metric fittings.

I was just saying that if someone had changed this over and knew the size of the bolt, that would be useful. I can measure it with the ruler, but might be 1 mm out either side so worst case I might need to buy 3 $10 sockets, 2 which will never be used (Yes, I am stingy). Nevermind, I will measure it and hope it's the right size. [Updated on: Sun, 25 September 2005 01:10] [Report message to a moderator]

Buy a $2 pair of verniers and the socket that comes closest in sizer to what you measure with the ruler...you'll only make the mistake once. [Report message to a moderator]
