Hi all,
I was just wondering if it was possible to change the single spinner in my BF MK11 Fairmont Ghia to an LSD? And if so how much would it cost? Daniel |

yep it can be done, dunno how much though, try somewhere like Mal Wood Automotive, i remember him doing one for a bloke with an N/A XR6 a couple of years ago.

Wouldn't mind getting an LSD in my BF wagon either.
Can I swap a LSD XR6 ute diff or do I need mods? |

But get the earlier style LSD as fitted to ED-AU which is far superior to the B-series standard fitment item. Both should bolt straight in. Call Steve at Diff and Gearbox Industries on Newmarket Rd to get it done properly. |

when you say get the ED-AU style do you mean the LSD Center or the whole axle? as the axle would not work as the BF rear is IRS ( Independant Rear Suspension ) Im assuming you mean just the Center, i will track Steve down and see what i can find out, thanks for the heads up on it.

Just the earlier style centre. I've already replaced my BA LSD with one from an EF.

really? i was always under the impression that the IRS diffs had an extra circlip in them to hold the CV in place? |

Hmmm.... You may be right, but I'm not sure. My conversion was in a ute diff, which of course won't have the circlip. However, I was under the impression that the LSD part of the centre was the same for IRS and live rear ends in BAs. A diff specialist should know. |

as far as i know the ute is built on the same chassis as the wagon, so it should fit. dont quote me on that though..
