Re: The Alpha's cast iron front diff....
I tried this morning to make the rear work in the front. It is to large to fit in and the splines are different. If you have any other ideas let me know. Is there any trick that i am missing?Arb is still a ways from making one.

I could bolt in the axle houseing but I don't feel comfortable setting up a diff and ring gears.

So where/how do you have a spare e-locker/differential laying around? Do you have both axles open right now?
