Post subject:  Steel Sierra diff into Vitara front
I've started the process of fitting a Sierra steel diff casing into my Vitara front.
I will be using the stock alloy axle housing still, as to steel those, I have to steal those 8O
I'm told extra strapping of front diff mount will help avoid alloy diff casings exploding.
My main question is
will I need extra strapping down with the steel diff?

I have an empty 1.3 diff case/pinion housing, I will fit that in to work out the bracket I need to make, then pull it out, save for locker, then put all the vit diff and locker into the steel housing.

you used to be able to get a collar from rocky road or somewhere that went around the sierra pinion area to mount to the crossmember, maybe copy that?

Yes I was planning something similar, just wasn't sure if needed.
Will look into that, though.
I will shove it in the hole and have a look see, sometime soon.

yeah you need that mount, it stops the diff twisting around

i found a picture of an American site where a bloke made a brace that attached to the bolts on the top of 3rd member and bolted to the driver side mount point, if i can find the picture il post it up

I will be using the vitara carrier, as the steel diff is empty
(assuming it will fit)
I'm finding different part numbers for front lockers in Sierra and Vitara,
and I thought they be the same.
LOWRANGE sell a front lockrite with carrier already to go,
so that may be an option.

May still need to use Sierra carrier if lock rite type lockers are hard to get for Vit.
