QT rear diff guard doesn't fit!

Ordered my rear QT diff guard ready to fit this weekend, started to fit it, then realised that it would foul with my prop shaft coupling !

Heres a couple of pics to show my problem






Any ideas why this is? It didn't say on the eBay ad that it wouldn't fit my one with a rubber coupling! (i have seen this in other places).

Also which ones do fit if this doesn't?

Thanks

may be for a 200tdi or v8 as they dont have the donut

i agree with this replace your doughnut with a 200tdi rear prop and 4 bolt flange as byt the looks of ur picture ur doughnut is under strain anyways

Maybe easer to get the correct guard, Rear Diff Guard - A1060A for use with 300tdi with the rubber coupling, not the A1060.

I agree it does look like its under some stress, I'll wait and see how quickly it goes through the doughnut before replacing it. Would I need a whole prop shaft and coupling from a 200 to do the conversion?

Yes a prop shaft, four bolt diff flange, a spacer and the nuts & bolts, thats it I believe.

yes pal u will

just so happens i have a full 200tdi prop kit in for sales

its not just the fact that it will loose drive , but they have been known to flail around doing more damage
