Hi Charles During the previous week I have been in contact with a guy who has a rear axle for sale - but unfortunately I do have another problem . My Kawasaki's engine started giving problems, and it needs to be rebuilt - which will be quite costly. I need to strip the Kawasaki's engine during this week, and all my Lada dreams are on hold at the moment . Danie

……..on my Niva…… I used the brackets of the rear axle and a half of the upper longitudinal bar. Because my Niva had 5,5 cm suspensions lift, the back side of diff moved up to “look” direct to tc. So there are not vibrations!!!! ……same at the rear by using adjustable upper longitudinal bars.

Hi Jan.I had read in a forums that these dimensions is wrong. (but I can not remember where ). Check it before you build.Compare with the aluminum diff casing. Do not forget to place the breather on the other side. ;D Good luck!!! PS. Ι am looking forward for news about your tripod cv joints. ;D
Regards, Dimitris

Jan.......When I was made mine, I had seen some photos but I had not any dimensions or a drawing. So I copied the dimensions of the standard.
A "detail" that some of them have forgot.......you must install the breather on the other side!!!!!
