Title: 16v diff conversion.
Post by toppin2 on Jan 30^th, 2007, 5:16pm

hi, i have my 16v diff ready to go on2 my cosworth, but i am a little baffled to how you swap over the flanges from the 24v to the 16v. i have removed the back plate, and also have noticed around the flange there are a series of little "teeth", one of them having a little brass locking plate bolted on. am i correct in saying you under the plate an unscrew the "teeth", or am i goin in the complete wrong direction. cheers, dave.

The flanges are held on by large circlips on the inside of the diff, at the inner ends.

Number 16 on the first diagram

Dont drop them! ;)

PS is it the 2.0 16v or the 2.3 16v diff you have?

Nope, just swap them over, and thats it..

Yep its great fun, you'll get to know all the petrol station staff really well!! ;D

I've had mine done for a good few months now and it actually feels nicer to drive as its a lot more responsive.
