get the part number on the unit itself if you could, joe.

looking for an eaton unit 26 spline 3.23 gearset

thanks

**hEaT** · 10-07-2008, 06:14 PM

Will do.

I know it doesn't have 3.23 gears. I believe it has 3.72's currently, but XR gears bolt to it as well.

**Ray** · 10-09-2008, 05:13 AM

Well, regardless, i did kind of just buy a new eaton diff yesterday. still wouldn't mind looking at the irocs for a "spare" but i only need the diff, nothing else. (as you know)

we can continue this discussion via email or on the phone.

I'll have a bunch of progress pics when i get to undertaking this...

stuffing a GM differential into a merkur case.

heh. pretty soon nothing on my car (drivetrain) will be original.
eek.

**hEaT** · 10-09-2008, 05:03 PM

I see Grayson is thinking of offering new Eaton diff's with the spacers for a decent price. Probably cheaper and stronger than a euro 7.0", maybe the 7.5" as well.

**RhodySVT** · 10-09-2008, 06:19 PM

Thanks for showing me around today and the bits ya gave me for the Foci, best of luck with the house and getting that diff fixed up.

**hEaT** · 10-09-2008, 06:43 PM

Welcome to the area. Next time you're coming up, shoot me a PM. I'm in the same area as well as SVTADAM and smoke3006.

joe yeah i was talking to grayson about that a few days ago. i am pretty sure the eaton will be stronger than the euro 7" (factory is open 7.5" btw) but in terms of strength i'm not sure. I think we know the factory diff isn't that strong, and i proved the euro one isn't that strong...

heh
also it wont be cheaper than a euro 7.0". diff alone is over $400 (if he gets the group buy discount) plus you need to factor in the spacers and cases etc.

just saying.

**hEaT** · Yesterday, 07:23 AM

Eh, I would use my 7.5" that I have know and put the LSD into that.

How much did you get your 7.0" Euro one for? I see those and the 7.5"s on eBay UK all the time, but never here.

What is wrong with this picture?

oh. this.

spider gear bit it.

**Ray** · Yesterday, 02:04 PM

**biscuitninja** · Today, 01:24 AM
