[peter evans]

hi guys

just bought a manta 400r unfinished project rolling shell 

car was a 4 speed what i need to know is the axle casing the same as a 5 speed can i have a lsd fitted in place of the original diff

Also whats the disc conversion set up what discs and calipers do i need and where t get handbrake cable?

 ill probably have more questions as the build comes along

thanks peter

Axle should be the same, assuming its the original from the car and the car was a 1600 or larger engine. If so you can get an LSD fitted, just remember there are 2 different types of diff one for the 3:44 ratio and one for the 3.67 or 3.9 ratios.

I've just finished a disc brake kit that will be available for sale very soon using mk4 astra calipers and discs

Let me know when it's ready it will save me hunting around for parts. I also need brackets to hold calipers if you have any thanks peter

The kits are the brackets and bolts, have a look in the for sale section just listed them up.
