Hey guys. Im putting some nt 3.9 centres into my wt sierra. I want to try and keep wt diff flanges as they have larger bolts. But the splines are different 3.7 wt to 3.9 nt. Do you guys know if any other suzuki flanges will work with the nt splines but be a wt bolt - vitara/jimny eg??
cheers guys

My 3.9s that I have are out of a drover. Will that differ?

there are some differing splines but ive never found an order to the chaos.
I.e ive had vitara flanges that wouldnt fit WT gears, NT that fitted WT perfectly.

I cant drill either because theres not enough meat on the nt flange. The actual outer diameter is smaller than the wt flange

its just gonna be a case of trying some other flanges until you find some that fit.
Be aware though that you really need to replace the collapsable spacer in the diffs if you undo the pinion nut.

I might just change the flange on my tailshaft from the uni to nt. Not what I wanted to do due to smaller bolts but looks to be easiest way out
