It should bolt in - you may need to change the third member mount (there are two styles), make sure you get the correct final drive ratio.

can i not just swap the guts of my alloy one into the steel
and anyone know where i can get one in perth?

[thesupervisor]

ok got a new steel housing diff man says all the guts will fit
also fitting a nylon bush
now i have lifted my gv about 50mm should i get some drop brackets for the diff?

Are the guts still usable? I would have guessed the ring & pinion would have sustained some damage.
