locking corona diffs

My corona rt142 with a 22re

My problem
I have been trying to lock my borg warner diff and the centre and seems to have in closed spider gears.
Does anyone know about these centres is there a way of locking them? I heard that you can fill the spider gears with lead but I’m not really sure.

is this all coronas, I have been down at u pull it all day looking at all the rt142corona diffs and they all have the same in closed centre. I have looked at wagons and sedans the 2L and the 2.4L versions. Am i just unlucky or am I missing something.

Or is there a different diff you can put in with the same mounts. Without spending heaps of money getting a new diff and changing mounts.

Thanks millhouse.

yes they can be locked, have you seen what a sprinter s series looks like, or a s13 viscous etc.

if your in melb bring it round. other wise lock it, same principal as a borgy just less room.

He has had the cover off it to be locked but apparently there is no where to stick a welder in, do you need to remove the centre from the car completely?

ra60 t series fits

[Konakid]

the trailing arms in the corona are bigger.

T series is also 20mm shorter, corona needs a longer diff in the rear to match the front track.

On the old forums there was a guy who had that green Corona and skidded the shit out of it. Then got an S12 coupe? He would know something obviously.

Lewis has taken the backing plate off ever single combonation of Corona now. Disk, drum, 2L carby, 2.4 EFI, Wagon, Sedan, IRS etc!

so it can be done. pics would help but if you can see the gear then it can be welded....

You need to cut into the housing so you can access the gears. Done this to two corona diffs now so just crack out the angle grinder and you're away :P

[millhouse]

:))

[millhouse]

is there any one that has locked a corona diff in Adelaide.
