Default Help!!!!! sierra cossie

just purchased a 3 door sierra just wondering does a sapphire cosworth 2wd rear axle with disc brakes and lsd fit a 3 door sierra without having to do any work?
? or is there any problems with attaching one because three door rear axles are impossible to find!!!!!!

then it's as simple as swapping them over and seeing if you've got arb mounts in the chassis

you may be lucky but you'll probably end up needing to weld some in, fairly simple, one bolt hole and one slot
