tyler Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hi, can anyone tell me if any of the rear Diffs from other Austin lorry's will fit on my K4? E.G. K2/3/6/9 ETC. The reason being the K4 is for sale but in the last week the Diff has started to make a nasty noise when going forward but not in reverse, which leads me to think its either the Crown wheel/Ring Gear etc, which I would guess will be expensive to have a new item made up. Also can anyone recommend anywhere to find a Diff or a new parts made? Also roughly how much it would cost? Thanks. Tyler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 The K4 was a common civi truck in the fifties so I would try the Historic Commercial people ,they may be able to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vor Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Not 100 percent sure, but i seem to recall the K4 was the same as the K5, but a K9 diff should be easer to source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79x100 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I very rarely sell vehicles because they always seem to realise what's going on and throw some sort of expensive mechanical wobbly which leaves the choice of selling them for next to nothing or fixing them but of course once they're fixed, it seems a shame to sell them and then just when I decide to... :?
