: Thanks for the reply.
: I've opted to change the entire rear
: differential mount including the
: brackets that mount to the frame. This
: way the differential centerline will be
: in alignment with the centerline of the
: frame,transmission and engine which
: seems like the way it should be.
: I am learning way more about thus
: swap than I intended or wanted but
: that's how it always goes..

: Hi P.J,
: I think I understand what you are
: saying-
: The trick is to mount the rear of the
: diff as per triumph, (that is
: centralised in the chassis, the bushed
: ears on the backplate mount as the
: triumph ears would), and to have the
: front plate made to account for
: misalignment.
: So the input flange will sit out of
: parallel alignment with the gearbox
: output flange, the propshaft will run
: at an angle,- but this is all fine, the
: prop is okay to run at that angle and
: is the norm on many rwd cars. More
: important is that the gearbox and diff
: flanges sit at a level, equal plane to
: each other.

: Hi guys.
: I'm installing a Subaru R160
: differential in my "new" gt6
: and while mocking it all up fount that
: if I want to use the original rear
: frame mounts to hold the back end of
: the differential, it would end up with
: the Subie differential quite angled in
: the frame due to the offset of the
: input flange. I have read and sean
: pictures many times that all that is
: needed is to make a different rear
: cover with "ears" like the
: Triumph diff but I don't see how that's
: possible without having a considerable
: out of alignment situation. I know
: some of you have done this and I would
: appreciate any advice. Thanks. P.J.
