so is the ra40 the same as the 60?
Only OEM and TRD LSD's need axle shortening. Most other aftermarket diffs dont need shortening. I can tell you for sure Cusco's dont.

Hi, i have a ra40 diff in my sprinter, bolts in no worries, the top mounts sit 5mm out on each side i think, i got a whiteline adj panhard rod and got them to make it adjust further out, it is 1410mm wide which is 20mm wider than the s series diff by my measurments, this is a cheaper way of getting a t series diff than t18, wreckers seem to want a bit for them these days, dont forget the tail shaft, this cost me $80 which is crazy for a tail shaft. my 2c

has anybody used a TA23 4.3 ratio centre???
4.3 is extremely rare. 4.1 is common. either will fit.
ra40 diff fitment sounds dodgy. recently bought one for the ratio/axles. bottom arms are indentical spacing, tops are out, flexing the arms bush to make them reach the top mounts is not a good idea, especially on a lowered car. fucked out all bushes probably helps but once your upper control arms are pointing up already + twisted over. its just not good.
also the springs seats are a differant style.. smaller diametre at a glace? didnt bother measuring spacing.

so to end a long story will a ra60/ta23 4.1 ratio centre bolt into a t-18 diff and will the t-18 axles bolt in?.so basically u jus swap centres over.
yes. just bolt it in. spline and bolt pcd/everything is the same. dont think youll find a t292 ra60 though. more likely ra40. (t292 is the axle code youre looking for, on the build plate)
T= t series obviously. first 2 numbers are the ratio code. 28 = 4.3 29 = 4.1 30 = 3.9 ect. 2 is the nember of pinion gear/lsd or not. 2 = 2 pinion gears, 3 u 2 pinion gears + lsd, 4 = 4 pinion gears, 5 is 4 pinion lsd.
