Got a few questions for a really knowelgeable person to answer (aint me obviously! )

Suppose you have a differential that sits in its casing, and the application you wish to use it for wont allow it to be used due to space constraints, namely the diff is too large in diameter along with its casing to fit into a particular space that it *must* be fitted into.
Thats the scenario.

The question is: Is it possible to reduce the crownwheel diameter and maintain the same final drive ratio to allow a diff casing to be modified in order to allow fitment of the aforementioned differential into the space available??????

If the answer is yes/maybe, can anyone recommend a company that could supply me with the modified componentry or maybe modify the existing parts to acheieve this difficult solution???

Im thinking quaife engineering but im also thinking "expensive"!!

Any help as ever gratefully appreciated.

Ps, the diff is approx 20mm in diameter larger than the space will allow it to go into.
