Firstly, I really didn't want to start a thread like this. But I'm having a hard time getting decent recommendations on the above; a lot of conflicting stories. I want to hear from people in Victoria who've had big diffs built; be it drag, circuit, 9", BW78, whatever. Please don't ruin the thread by slagging each other/shops off. I want a built BW78 using a Kaaz 28 spline 2 way LSD centre for circuit racing, with apirations to eventually modify it for a Watts Linkage. Must hold 300rwkw plus. Please help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

pannic uses a watts linkage very tuff Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have no idea Timmay, but the Star Wars reference gets my nod of approval. I havn't broken my diff but I guess Canberra is a little far to send the borgy.

A guy i know has just shortened a borg warner from a falcon that has the watts linkage mount on the diff cover, would be worth seeing if these swap straight over then you only have to fabricate the body mounts

I had my 9" built at Preston Auto's & Diffs as they are local. Got a steel centered hemisphere put in, new 4.11's, new LSD, new 28spline axels. Was very happy with it, took it racing after 100kms and it was sweet. I had it built to handle a 9/10 second pass. Was reasonably priced aswell comparing with other places I spoke to.

I'm running a 9" in my vlt at the moment; centre was rebuilt some years ago when I brought it, although not 100% sure on the specs or shop - will have to check my receipt collection when I get home. Running a Watts linkage will be interesting, adjustable lower/upper arms as well? Take it your also thinking of running adjustable front lower A-Arms?

Preston diffs and autos, my diffs been going for ages and im really supprised it hasnt blown yet! I use to go thru them all the time but since preston has been doing them the diff's been awesome! Prices and service are VERY good! + good guys to deal with and very caring for peoples cars... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks guys.

Might be an old one from memory. Quote: Originally Posted by burchenal Running a Watts linkage will be interesting, adjustable lower/upper arms as well? Take it your also thinking of running adjustable front lower A-Arms? Hey Matt! Eventually, yes. Stock arms front/rear and panhard for a while, then Watts and adjustability like crazy.

Thanks Gas. I had a quick word with them, but have had people steer me away from them. They seemed ok, although the prices on billet (axles, gearsets) seemed pretty expensive. Anyone tried Keysborough Diffs? Had them recommended, but I've also read some undesireable things about them too. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Please help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope. Rowse racing, the same guys did my cage, and have done the diff thats in it, probabl know a bit about teh watts linkage also, Tim used to run an ex level 1 v8 in the konica cup series, pretty sure they would have been running the watts linkage in that. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ank and aus are on the money.. Ask Kurt (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/member.php?u=7869) and i'm sure if he can't do it or if you prefer a vic shop he'll be able to point you in the right direction... In saying that, only ever heard good thinks about preston diffs and auto's as well..

G&J Diff's in dandy do a good job and cheap

I think the ef/el might have a watts linkage on the diff hat

will a watts link affect his dose?
