salisbury 4HU Diff

[heightswitch]

Question for all you griff / tuscan / 3000M owners.

i have sourced a 4HU Salisbury diff from a 3.6 XJS Jag to go into a hybrid vixen. i am going to use some Adrian Venn type uprights. etc. what other bits do I need for the diff? IE Flanges etc.

all answers / info gratefully received.

You'll need the following:-

1) A substanial diff carrier, its heavy if you hadn't noticed

2) Depending on your driveshafts you'll probably need a big washer (don't know the techincal term, but its to allow the parts to mate cleanly) and a new yoke flange for your driveshaft

3) The Salisbuty has some tie-bars to the lower chassis rails to stop it twisting, you'll need the tie-bars and then some flanges on the chassis to mate it with

4) You'll probably want stiffer rear springs as see 1 above its heavy!!

I'd recommend that you talk to Adrian Venn about the bits

Hello davidy.

Not too worried about hanging it in place, since I already have a car to copy from. What i haven't yet done on both cars is sourced the driveshafts etc.

how different is the M set up to the vixen IE Hub, drum, etc etc.

I'm told that the half shafts used on Tuscans are the same as were used on a 1960's dumper truck so I would think finding new ones now would be rather difficult. As for brakes, to the best of my knowedge, both later series Vixens & Tuscans and the M series used TR6 components.

The M's all used Triumph 2000 half shafts at the back with the Salisbury. The splines on TR6 halfshafts are too short if I remember correctly

Talk to Adrian Venn - I think you need a Nissan Driveshaft
