Well a week ago I asked about the best way to do the U-joints. When I 
dropped the driveline - I figured that the joints were OK. Got new ones - 
put in at a shop. Went camping and put the driveline in tonight. Pulled 
out of parking spot - same freakin rattle. Kinda figured as much. Since I 
can hear it from both sides of the car, it has to be the diff. 

Looked in Moss - can't get one. So now I ask - Anybody got a diff for a 
78 Wire Wheel Midget?? I know that a 75 - 79 will fit. Not real sure 
about Pre RB era diffs but if they are the same I will take one. I will 
order new bearings and seals to do at the same time but I need this back 
on the road - like last week.

Anybody ever put a diff in a wire wheel Midget? I did one in a steel 
wheel Midget about 20 years ago but not sure if the wire wheels are that 
much different. I know the diff by itself is a shade tree mechanic job 
but what about the bearings? Press needed? Do the bearings need to be 
replaced if the diff goes - or is that just good measure? 

HELP and TIA
