I've sourced a '79 Spitfire diff for my GT6. I have not received it & probably won't for a several weeks. But it's cold & I'm in no rush at this point. My question is the 79 a direct bolt in replace

Unless someone has changed some of the components in your GT6, the Late Spit Diff should be a drop in replacement. However, I expect that you will find that the new diff has a different ratio than w

Hi Joe, The speedo already read slow(i think) so who knows what it'll do now. I think I had taller tyres than stock as well...still read slow:-) So the Spit diff has 6 stud holes? Cheers, Todd -- Joe

Oh, I forgot to mention that the Spitfire diff case has only 4 spring attachment studs whereas the T6 case has 6. You should be able to use the GT6 case on with the Spit differential, but there isn't

Ooh, good question. The Spitfire used only 4 studs. I can't recall whether mine had 6 holes. If the casing has all 6 holes the unused two might be filled with gunk or rust. In any case, it is easy to

6 holes for a GT6 or early spit fixed spring; later spits with the swing spring had the 4 holes. All 3.89 diffs I've seen have 4 holes, as they are swing spring cars, all 4.11 early spit and 3.27 GT6

Short answer is yes, you will need to change the back half if you want to use the fixed spring. Not a major job, remove the stub axles by removing the 4 allen head screws retaining the plates. Remov

Are you sure about the 3.63 ratio? I wasn't aware that the 3.63 was used in the US Spitfires at all. All the documentation I've ever seen shows either 4.11 or 3.89 in the Spits. BillG OKC --Original

You may be right, I may be thinking of TR7's wich share the same internals, but some of the diffs that I have taken apart have had 3.63 gears in them - my current diff, has one of those gear sets - a
