They used Holden one tonner uni joints in 80 series Chamberlain tractors. They were absolutely bloody useless in this application. High torque loads and long constant revs destroyed them. When they let go they smashed off the hydraulic pump. However they last ok in a Holden one tonner even with a huge horsepower engine going down the drag strip.
The racing xu1 didnt have normal banjos if my memory serves me correct they were Detroit lockers
In reality it's lucky ford put that small truck diff in cars. If not Australia would have very few diff options for street machines and drag cars. Everyone might have been using Bedford diffs...
Some were. Not all of them.Originally Posted by Glacier 73
12 bolts out of Pontiac and Impala or imported Camaro. Next step up in strength again. You'll find a lot of 9" diffs used in the 80's and 90's were imports in any case.
Not mine flogged it out of an xy fairmont
Besides the banjo diff bolts in from the front and the Salisbury from the back what's the difference and how do you tell if its a 8 bolt or 10 bolt ect?
All you really need to know about Holden diffs
Nunc est bibendum...
I learnt a bit out of that is it true a nine inch requires more horse power. And is it as easy to change the ratio in a Salisbury than it is in a banjo
No you need to set a Salisbury up properly. Not a job to do unless you know what you are doing.
