which torsendiff are you going to use for the front?

You can machine the gearbox to take the larger torsen bearing, or you can machine the diff to take the stock gearbox bearing.

andy,which torsendiff do you mean? a center torsendiff for the front?

**andy10v** · 23 January 2015, 20:24

To fit a V8 torsen rear diff as a front diff.

**andy10v** · 23 January 2015, 20:26

You machine the diff from 45mm to 41mm IIRC, to take the smaller bearing.

Are you using a 944 one? Or one of Albert's?

**dubmanted** · 23 January 2015, 22:08

Alberts one is a porsche one no?

Also sorry to hijack the thread but the V8 diff seal is a hard to get hold of part, 034 stock a replacement and shipped to the uk on priority mail is £69....just checked a uk distributor and its £95 plus postage. Unbelieveable prices,anyone know of a reputable supplier in the UK?

Thanks

Just go to your local bearing specialist, they will likely have something suitable on the shelf, do you know the specs?
