I had mine done by Pro set diff in melton. did a ripper job and hes an old bloke who is very thorough. Might be worth trying Mc donald bros they have the prices on their website and if thats anything to go by they seem pretty cheap.

Thanks for the measurments KIZZA, just for a rough idea what have people been paying to have diff housings cut, axles shortened and resplined, PCD changes and mounting
PM if u wish, but ive been getting a few quotes and some seem really cheap and some more not so.
Cheers
Zac

Hans at Pro set diffs is going to be doing mine. I have a quote for just under $1,200 and thats for the housing to be shortened, the axles shortened (I think they have to be re heat treated) 4.11 gears (good second hand) and he will do whateva diff people do to the LSD to make it all good =) Oh yeah and new bearings all round.
A racing engineering place in Albury/Wodonga wanted $5,000 to do it, so 12hundred is good.
Cheers JCB

I had a hilux housing shortened by Driveline Services in Tyabb, on Mornington-tyabb Rd.
Was happy with the service, quality of the job, and turnaround time. Was 220 for just the housing.

Shortened housing and axles, new 4 pinion LSD new 4.11's and new bearings etc, fit spring saddles, change the flange to a smaller commodore one.

Thats for the replys guys, seems 1300 odd is the going price for what i want/need to get done
While on the topic, i was told by one of the diff shops i rang that you cannot change the stud pattern on the flange as it is deemed to be weakening it. so i was told i need billet axles
Opinions
My plan was to have the holes plugged, flanges refaced and then correct PCD drilled.
Nigel - I gave Driveline Industries a call he seems like a top bloke and very well priced. and wasn't trying to feed my full or crap and upselling me to a 9inch
Cheers

Yeah they are a small operation but know their stuff. If you do head down there make sure you check out the alloy 9 inch diff housings they make. Pretty fancy looking units.

Yeah he did mention that they did full on 9's but after asking my power output he didn't push the matter and just told me the best things i can do to the BW
Sorry to ask u this as i forgot to ask him
Do u think he'll need the car or if i just give him my diff and a std mk2 diff to work off he'll be fine?
Cheers
Zac
