The reason I`ve decided to rebuild this rearend is because it has an "Open" differential and I will find a Power lock for it. Also the gears are about 2:88- Not quite what I am looking for. I have another complete XJS12 rear diff with 3:31 and the Power lock, but I`ve heard that some Diff Housings are stronger than others,ie. The early XKE housing is supposeed to be better than the XJS variety.If this is the case then I will Rebuild the better of the two - and use it. I have setup many 12 Bolt Cheb rear axles so rebilding these units won`t be a problem. Like many of you - This Hobby ( Cobra`s) makes you go way overboard in everything you do to the car. Also please pass the word around that I am seeking a Bare Contemporary Body.Thanks for your replys...Mike in Comox B.C Canada
