Yes. The Stag uses the backplate approach so will fit the Mk1 (and all estates) OK. The ratio should be 3.7 for a Stag, but funnily enough not the same as a saloon 3.7. The CWP were different/beefed up? Due to this, the casing and rear cover (not backplate) are different. Ah yes, the input flange will probably need changing too!

My Stag has a saloon 3.7 fitted anyway!

I think the TR6 diff is the same internals, probably 3.45 ratio. As Alec said, I don't think it has the nose extension, with the flange right onto the pinion rather than a quill shaft. In theory easy to change, but getting the correct pinion pre-load may need some thought.

Cheers,
Mike.
This is what Rimmers sell: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID005260
So for a Mk1 saloon/any estate could you just buy the Rimmer diff (they sell the drive flange housing assembly separately) and fit our backplate and drive flange housing?

Hi David,

Sorry, been away again!

Yes, I reckon that would work OK. The Stag backplate is the same as well I think.

Cheers,
Mike.
