Sierra dif drive shafts
Question, iwant to use the above on a Aries chassie etc,but ive been informed you need to use the lobro joints so you can fit rear disc brakes.
Obviously ive got the slide in shafts,is there any way of modifying these to accept discs ?
I understand the lobro joints are getting pretty thin on the ground.

you can get a conversion kit to allow you to fit discs.
Do you have standard sierra shafts or specially shortened ones from aries?
(unless aries has changed the design, you need specially shortened shafts & if you could, i'd really appreciate it if you could tell me the
distance between the faces that you mount the wheel on).

I changed mine from lobro to push in shafts and just used a couple of adaptor plates from mk to mount the calipers

The diff was a 3.62 and no good for the pinto i had in at the time, it was doing about 120mph at 4000 rpm in 5th, so i swapped to a 3.9 which gave
better acceleration..... throwing the pinto away and fitting a zx10 made a much bigger difference though . swapping the diff and shafts was pretty
much straight forward using the adaptor plates from mk.
