Default HELP! 2WD COSSIE DIFFS NEEDED!!

We've run out of core stock
What I'm after is old units, that preferably have good crownwheel/pinion gearsets.
So if you have a unit that has blown its planet set, don't throw it away please, sell it to me!!
I'll even take Granada Scorpio non LSD diffs, so long as they have 3.6 ratios (7˝ inch)

Thanks in advance

Bugger - I threw a 7.5" out a few months back. It had done a planet gear, but the rest was OK

In the centre of the diff you have sun and planet gears (two of each)
The planets are the small ones, the suns are the larger ones that the output flanges spline into.
Usually, Cossies blow the planets

I generally would buy one like yours for Ł50.00.

To repair:
Labour Ł105.00
Planet & sun gears IRO Ł100.00 the set
Bearings, seals, spacer Ł80.00
plus VAT

all assuming that your VC housing (planet carrier) is serviceable
