yes, hollow to allow the bolt to go through. so, if you could find a regular newer 3.90 diff, weld it up, then use the inner cup/stub on one of the EA axles? the 3.90 VLSD out of the turbo Legacy has the solid stubs but they are different lengths. I think someone tried to use those stubs on another newer LSD diff that accepts the c-clip stubs, but it wouldn't work... I supposed you could take a 3.90 VLSD and gut the LSD part of it, and try to weld up everything inside to make a spool....????? if you could find a regular newer 3.90 diff, weld it up, then use the inner cup/stub on one of the EA axles?
-
I finally got around to opening up the welded diff that popped last fall at Castana... the rear stub axle on the drivers side just straight sheared off. all the welds are fine.... it also snapped off the head of the bolt.... I was running 30's and was doing a hill climb and the rear end started to bounce.... SNAP! here's a good one, and the sheared one... just replaced the stub axle, and it's ready to go.... just gotta yank the LSD back out...

I didn't do anything to lower it, and I don't think anything else was done to it...

right, get your flywheel turned to XT6 specs. if they ask what it's for or what it came out of, tell them XT6. and use a XT6 clutch kit then.
-
any shop that turns flywheels would have to have a book that lists the specs for the flywheel. the soob flywheels are stepped, which means they have to turn 2 surfaces. the important spec is the step distance. the XT6 step is smaller, allowing for the pressure plate to be a bit closer to the clutch surface. that combined with a stronger pressure plate equate to more gripping for the clutch disc to handle the higher power output of the XT6....
-
the clutch disc is the same for ea82 and er27 but the xt6 has a different pressure plate, and the flywheel is surfaced to different specs. if you just buy a XT6 clutch kit, then get your flywheel turned to the xt6 specs (the shop should know the specs). I'm running this setup with a 89 GL wagon D/R in my 82 Brat.
