Torsen swap - help needed

Post by DrowsySam » Fri May 06, 2016 5:55 pm

Hi all, first post here :)

I'm currently swapping a type I torsen into my '90 1.6 MX5. I have the actual diff and driveshaft but need the 1.8 cv axles/half shafts. I cannot find them ANYWHERE!

I've tried Mazline, MX5parts, MX5spares, a few guys that were wrecking 1.8's.. All out of stock and don't have any, could anyone recommend a good place, or maybe some of you have them laying around?

Another question, do the later 1 piece 1.8 half shafts fit too?

Cheers!
Sam

Yes. The 7" 1.8 diffs all use the same axles, so you can get axles from a 1.8 open diff too.

One piece or two piece both work fine.
