    Default F Series Diff - MA61 pinion housing to MX23?

    How Strong is a F series Diff?...


    Can someone tell me if one of these from a MA61:
    (or other F series IRS car, eg RA65, RT142)




    Will bolt on to one of these from a MX23:
    (or other F series live axle, eg MX22, RA45, Tarago...)




    I have a damaged Pinion, so im hoping i can just buy another complete Pinion housing (image 1) and bolt it on (to image 2), instead of having to pull it apart.
    Also, is there anything i need to know, such as needing to shorten the drive shaft?

    If this doesnt work, can a F series pinion from a MA61 etc, be used in the Live axle housing?

    Realised it wont work, as the IRS half shafts come out of the image 1 thing.

    Anyone know if a Crown F or Tarago F pinion housing will work?

    I reckon a crown one would be fine.

    Thanks heaps.
    I think it will be much easier to find a crown/tarago "diff carrier" then get it posted from tassie

    Now i have a good reason to choose a decent crown gear to a nice ratio. (by the looks of my pinion the crown must be damaged too.)

    Brett, when you say hemisphere, are you refering to the diff center?
