Default Diff Specialist Vic?

I have bought new ring and pinion sets for my 1957 Dodge Power Wagon which should bring it's cruising speed from 65km/hr to about 80. I need a diff specialist who can fit them as well as re-shimming the spider gears and installing all new bearings. These diffs are rare so I need someone who really knows their stuff, any suggestions? I'm in Northern Vic so Vic or Southern NSW will be fine.

Cheers

Ash Differential Service,
Rear 363 Neerim Rd Carnegie
Phone: (03) 9569 4846

They specialise in older cars, I had a diff done by them some years ago which they replaced the crown wheel and pinion to do what you are doing, no problems at all.
