I had to re do all the mounts on the RA45GT diff
My mate has put in his ra60 diff in his ke70 with out changing the upper lat bars, he got an adjustable panard but was to short even at full length. Ill be putting my ra60diff in tomorrow will let you know how it goes.

Didnt have enough time in the day to put my diff in, but did some measuring and my panard rod will make the gap unlike my mates. Cant wait to have both wheels spinnin again
didnt really check, but heres a nice ratio guide/sizes i found
enjoy!
I put a RA60 diff in my KE70 and they bolt straight in accept for the panard bar and coz mines lowered 3-4"
i had to get an adjustable one made anyway, and about the length, theres about 5-10mm difference between the T-18 and the RA60 diff which is why you have to shave the celica axles down to fit them in the T18 diff. The only other difference is that one mounting stud is longer on the celica center. I know this to be true coz my mate has a T-18 diff in his 86 and we compared the 2
Had a good look at my mates ke with one in it. The upper lat bars are not exacly straight, but would that much of a difference? They bolt in and only need to move 15mm..... Anyone heard of brackets cracking or anything because of it?
Great info fellas! Keep it coming.
sr_rolla - sounds like your info is spot on, thanks for sharing.
mikes86 - I really dont think it will matter that much weather or not the trailing arms are perfectly straight assuming your still using the stock rubber bushes. Methinks things will get tough if you decide to replace them bushes with poly ones

other than that the bolt holes on the diff mounts are bigger than the T-18 one, they take a 19mm headed bolt instead of a 17mm like the rolla
so is there any easy swaps or interchangable diff centres that will bolt straight in???
As per your diff center thread, any t series center will fit any t series housing. Its just a matter of which ratio you wish to use.
That said, put your ra60 diff in and post up your findings here
