4.88 hi pinion F/S or swap for 4.1 hi pinion
ok things have changed a bit.will be stripping 4.3 and and swapping locker but now looking at front end.
does any one have a 4.1 hi pinion out of an 80 series they'd like to swap for a 4.88 hi pinion ??
or does someone want to buy the 4.88 ive got and hopefully some one is selling a 4.1 i could buy?cheers all

Yep, I have 4.1 gears that where removed from an 80 e-locker that now has 4.8's in it. I've installed thethe 4.1's into a standard hi-pinion housing (2 spider open). It hasn't been setup thou. I'm keen for a swap. Maybe just a gear swap to save on shipping??
If you break it... build it stronger.

mhm.not really keen to rip apart a good working diff just to swap ratios.if you can get your diff set up I'd happy to swap though.i don't think shipping would be too much

I've already assembled it, just need to set it up, Rick will check it over for bugger all. That way where both happy its a good diff. I can wait until youv'e got the diff out, as i do have an lsd unit that i could put in instead if yours is lsd
