Default Figured you guys would have an idea...

I've been chasing another 3.45LSD for my EL XR6...

allford.com.au (VIC) say that can do a reco'd one for $880 incl delivery to NSW..

I've asked about any warranty and what has been done to it.

If it is reco'd and in good nick, is this a decent price?

Anyone dealt with allford.com.au before?

Cheers

That doesn't seem to bad. Secondhand ones straight from wrecks seem to go from anywhere between $500-600 depending on k's.

So the fact that its rebuilt, and delivered is probably worth $200 easy I would have thought.

Yea that's what I was thikning..

They got back to me:

They supply the diff housing with reconditioned centre,
new bearings and clutches, and gears if neccessary.
Using my own axles.

That comes with 6 months warranty.

Seems not too bad from looking around...?

Thats without freight, handling or removal.

Well, I've decided to go for it...I got him to include the axles etc.. in the price too, to make things a little easier, so it's a complete assembly.

I had a read of the Gregories, and it looks easier than I thought to remove the diff. I guess all I'll need to do is swap over the brake assembly etc, which shouldn't be too difficult, and find someone in town with a press to do the axle bearings.

Looking forward to this little project!
