ps. is it possible to flop the diff to suit rear engine applications?
Yep, no probs to flip the diff.
In fact, I seem to recall that renault used this box in both front wheel drive vans and in som rear wheel drive applications ?
or am I on drugs ?
ur right doug from what i can see all that needs to be done is setup a linkage system re-tap CV's(or make a adaptor) and make up some mounts
cheers
