from memory it doesn't bolt on directly.. it may just be the flange bolt angle?(as in if you bolt the caliper bracket on, it would put the caliper on the bottom?)

i had wondered if drilling new holes in the caliper bracket would work.. never did it though.

what's wrong with the ZL center? if they are both 2.92 or 2.77 you could swap the center.. if one is 2.92 and the other 2.77 ratio you can't..

 

if you want a better ratio for the V8? might be easier to get an EB diff,(sedan) with tailshaft and hand brake cable.  if you get the later one EB2 or ED you need to swap control arm bushes on one end or use spacers as the bush is better(wider)

if you do this, you'll need to buy a flexi hose adapter to go from metric to imperial

Did disc conversion today, it was all straight bolt on, calipers are at the rear of diff, all holes lined up perfectly.

So t5 anything from an xf on will work although eb on ate the better ones.

Use a single rail bell housing (top loader is the same) you need to drill a couple of holes and machine a few mm off the nose of the gearbox and your away.

Honestly I wouldn't bother with a 9 inch these days, they are worth a fortune to have one made to fit a watts link arse end. Loads of guys use borg warners nowadays in some tuff cars too, and you'll break loads of t5's before you break a 28spline borgy. Go a 3.45lsd out of an ed xr8 and it will basically bolt straight in and will stand up to the toughest clevo.

Hi, when U say, machine a couple of mm of the nose of gearbox, were exactly from please? I am thinking of going 5speed in my XE when I put 351 clevo in it, already have a EA T5 box sitting here.

Hi all, wanting to change my rear brakes from drum to disc, I have a disc diff out of a ZL FAIRLANE, centre is stuffed, wanting to know what's involved in swapping the disc set up onto my XE drum diff? Is it just unbolt all drum brake system and then bolt all disc setup straight onto my housing?
