Hate to be picky, but that looks like a natcho 13B from here [:p]

Courier diff looks like a very interesting option indeed.

JET-6 Have just picked up the same diff as the one your modding atm, all your info so far has been great but you need to finish it as now I have to start thinking, its just down to what brakes to run, I was thinking of putting the front mk2 disc's onto the rear but then what about the hand brake ? I am at the stage now where I may just use the existing 10" DRUMS that came on the diff, was speaking to a brake expert today who knew of what the courier runs and he reckons that unless your doing lots (10+ Laps) of track work those drums will be fine and even then adding a bit of a scoop to the front of the drum would increase the cooling more so adding more laps before the fade sets in, as im only doing track days and hill climbs I can't see the brakes getting hot enough to warrant the complexity of the disc setup, and it may just mean that I get to using the diff a little sooner hopefully before my stocko locker collapses ! Ill let you know if I uncover anything that you haven't already.

WHY THE 12'S ?!

Where was this other LSD cntee you spoke of?

boys
Bought an 81 ford courier ute(complete) today for $56- on EBAY just getting the diff out then its going to the wreckers any one need any parts,will be stripping it tommorrow if all goes to plan.

What I need to know is if the later model centres (LSD) fits this housing apparently so but I want to make sure,if not I will weld this unit up for now,when Ive got it appart I will take some detail photos and we might be able to put the conversion in the tech section.
will be using standard reaer brakes for now until my workshop is set up better to tackle the disk set up.

so what is the earliest year that the LSD come out in?

It had a steel tray on it and a 4 speed which was 4 months old,I give it to the wreckers today in return he will pull the diff/tailshaft,u bolts, hand brake cable, and 2 wheels out of it and deliver it to me.
the body is stuffed but it did have a new radiator in it.


did some one say you can mini/full spool these centres if the later centres are 29? spline this may have to be the other way to go.
