I know when this conversion is done the u-bolts start riding up further on the centre section of the housing. Are different size u-bolts required? I was hoping to use my stock WT u-bolts but don't want to get into it and find out I need new bolts!!! |

I found that the wt ubolts were pushing it. When I did mine I could just get a full length nut on the ubolt that sits up on the pumpkin |

When I did mine I reused all u bolts except the ones on the front diff driver side. I found out the hard way putting it together and had to source 2 new one they come close but just. It close enough |

Come to think of it on the r/h/f you may need a slightly larger u bolt I used the std but longer ones and had to use a G clamp to get them through the plates |

NT RHF inside Ubolt is both larger diameter U and longer than all the other Ubolts. To do it properly you really need the Ubolt guide thing from the top of the NT axle tube as well as the RHF lower spring plate. |

The guide on the axle tube is obviously welded to the housing right? Are they of similar design to the WT ones but to suit a different position? |

It does. But if its what im thinking.. it'd be easy enough to make one. |
