nine inch diff in VL? no problems.

Yes it can, mine is a 9" center carrier with VL disc brake axel carries welded on. That means it keeps factory brake/hand brake set up and all the suspension mount points are the same. It runs one VL V8 axel and one HQ axel to get the correct lengths. I bought it off trademe as a full-spool locked diff and had Tony from Steelie gears convert it to LSD and change the ratio. He said that a nine inch in a VL was a complete waste of time and money and he could make a factory one just as strong for about a third the price.

I'm thinking 'air locker'

exhaust nearly done Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
