t series Diff question.

[aussie freestylers]

I have a t series out of a t 18 but the housing is bent, i want to buy a jdm disk brake housing. will my axles an centre bolt into the jdm housing ?. ( the axles out of my t-18 are not bent just housing)
thanks.

[redsprinter]

they are interchangeable . but the jdm axle bearing might need to be replace jdm disk t-series normally run the bigger bearing (twice the width of the drum t-series)

in saying that. if the axle are still in the bent housing i would check the axles aswell.

id just search for another t18 diff will be cheaper, disk type bearings will prob cost half the price of another t18 diff.

i was lead to believe that t18/jdm zenki drum T series axles CANNOT be interchanged with their disc brake counterparts because the housing flanges are different?

[aussie freestylers]

the axle that was in the housing when i hit a gutter LOL was bent but replaced it.

pretty sure todds speech is also correct, best off sticking to t18 its overall cheaper just get a zenki 2way

You're right, the flange has a different bolt pattern, but if you're changing the bearing to a double row bearing just replace the flange at the same time. If you don't get the flanges with the housing this could be problematic!

If i brought the jdm housing would i be able to change the flange back to the drum flange an run drum brakes, i can't get standard t series housing but i can get a jdm housing an i need mt car back on the raod thanks...

if the JDM housing your reffering to ran disks, then no, you wont be able to run drums.
- unless you get the drums redrilled to suit the pattern on the jdm housing.

best off finding a stock adm t18 housing.
