can i fit 24spline diff to 10 spline housing?

its time to uprate my diffsand halfshafts on my 72 rangie (before i kill them,as running 300hp and soon 400.)

now i could just fit sailsburys and be done with it,but i cant/wont..due to wanting to keep dvla originality points..

i cant buy uprated 10 spline halfshafts..no one does them,so i have to go 24..also i wish to fit lsd(type) diffs,they would really suit my driving style,while at it get the diffs pegged..

so i need to fit this lot into my original 72 diff casings..re the rear.i guess the 24 spline diff will just drop in,no reason why it should not,but willl the standard 24 spline halfshafts bolt up to my early imperial hubs.or not??will i need to fit the hubs from 24 pline axle??asking as wondering wether to buy complete axle or (hopefully)just the diffs and halhshafts...

same question regarding front axle..

anyone had go of detroit truetracs compared to quaiffe arb's compared to kam lsd??

thanks

yep they are interchangeable.

im runnin arb 24 spline lockers front and rear
using ashcroft cvs and halfshafts all 24 spline in original 10 spline axle

excellent...so original hubs?thats handy...was abit concerned halfshaft flange to hub would use different (ie metric) bolts and not allow it to tighten up properly.ie bolt holes in flange to big for imperial bolt....

had any trouble with dave's halfshafts??am going to him i think for the bits...if not then kams,but would rather use dave as he always happy to help, and i like that...

Hi WL

Is that a 10 spline metric or 10 spline imperial axle?

I ask 'cos I'm sure I read somewhere that 24 spline half shafts won't fit an imperial axle. Certainly a metric front hub assembly won't fit an imperial axle directly, as it has a different bolt pattern but maybe the innerds will fit.

V. interested in info on this mod.

Cheers

tbh i couldnt tell ya i just know it was 10 spline b4

hmmm..done some more research..looks like i cant fit the standard 24 spline halfshafts to my hubs...atleast ashcroft are selling halfshaft flanges that are specific to early rangie hubs..they state as pcd/bolt hole dia are different...

ok not the end of the world,except i cant now do diff upgrade in stages..ie diff first then later (when cash there)hd halfshafts..gonna have to do the lot at once...ouch400 lsd+240 pegging+360 shafts and flanges per axle...ouch..
