steering wheel should squeeze between the arms on the pedal box..
on another note... copy and pasted from another forum...
After reading so many threads about how easy it is to bolt an a70 lsd into a hilux housing, and that its impossible to go the otherway round (ie, fit a hilux spool into an a70 housing), i decided to bite the bullet and give it a crack myself...
here is the findings to date. Note i only got the spool yesterday so its not installed and operating just yet..
pics are as it stands. note that both centres weigh exactly the same as pictured... therefore, if you bother goign this path to save weight (like myself), then you are saving the weight of the ring gear, the bolts attaching the ring gear and however much weld you pump into the open diff to lock it. all up approx 3.3kilos.
so whats required to make them fit... there is 3 areas that need addressing.
#1
The ID of the hilux spool measures 34mm and the supra stub axles measure 34.93.. therfore you choose which item ud like to machine to suit. (I'll be boring out the spool)
#2
next issue is the location and depth of the splines. the hilux centre has alot deeper spline section then the supra, therefore about 10mm will need to be removed from both sides of the spool.
#3
The hilux centre runs a 45mm ID bearing, where as the supra runs a 50MM ID. therefore both spool journals will need to be sleeved. one sleeve as per pic 6 (this extends the bearign shoulder closer to the wheels) while on the otherside, 2mm ish will need to be machined from the shoulder to move it closer to the diff centre and a simple 45-50mm shim installed (could prob do a better job explaining that if need me)
those who have done previous research into this topic, there is no need to machine off 3mm of the crownwheel flange...
