    Default Diff shop recommendations (SYD)

    Hey there,

    Just putting the finishing touches on my R31 diff that's going in my TA22. I need to get the axles shortened (and probably resplined), I'm going to change the centre but chances are it won't mesh perfectly at which point I'll just let the shop correct the shims and I'd also like them to check if it's straight (because of all the welding. Reasonable?)

    Does that all sound good?

    Does anyone have any recommendations on which shop to take it to in the Sydney area? Happy to drive a fair way out of Sydney if there's someone who's really good/cheap/both (haha).

    Cheers

    Cheers for the recommendation. They apparently don't do resplining though?

    Ended up calling Hornsby Differentials. Seem like pretty switched on people but they wanted 550 for the centre change. I think I'll have a go and unless I hit some horrible lash/runnout issues I'll call it good. I will be using them to respline the axle though
