Default Gripper into cossie diff

Hi team,

What is rquired to fit a gripper centre into a 7.5" cossie diff?
Ive read the case needs grinding, same as a quaife or any other centre realy.

What else does it need?
What drive flanges do you use and do you need to modify them?

Any help appreciated.

Brett

I had to gride out the o.s side of the casing buy a fair bit and lift the diff into the casing with the crown wheel lose on the diff! Then once in there bolt the crown wheel to the diff! I also fitted the bearings after but do know if you can or can't get the diff in with bearings on hope that made sence lol

they bolt in with a gripper so your originals will need drilling down the middle then you need too long bolts and a bit of silicone job done the bolts are m8 and need to be about 5mm longer than the flang!
