Just been through this myself, had a 4 pinion housing and was going to use my 2 pinion carrier and lockright. Apparently you can get bearings to convert the carrier from 45mm to the 50mm used in the 4 pinion, I went the other way and got a 4 pinion lockright and a 2 pinion diff to put my 2 pinion lockright into,as a spare.

If you take both bearings into a good bearing shop they may be able to match something up.

I had a 4 pinion diff, and got a 2 pinion lockrite, took it to a diff guy and he made it work, so can be done.

Rebuilt the whole diff while he was there so that prolly helped.
