LSD?

Hi Guys,

Would anyone know if a 2010 (or thereabouts) Triton 4WD rear LSD diff will bolt into a 1982 Scorpion without any mods?

Also similarly do the Starion or Cordia steering wheels interchange?

Thanks,
Col.

Re: Power steering conversion

Thanks for the info.

Will keep a look out for bits - maybe one day.

I had never driven a Scorpion and it does drive surprisingly well, just a bit heavy around town. Power steering would make this nice.

I guess Sigma parts will interchange?

Thanks,
Col.

Power steering conversion

Just wondering if anyone might know what would be involved in going from standard steering to power steering in a 1982 GK Scorpion?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Scorpion colour question

At last it is finished. Lots of little things that take up lots of big time. Colour looks OK. The hardest thing - fitting the side protection strips and getting them level. Next is a roadworthy cert. Should be fun. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/DmzqC-hT5-MtZC_yfuo1BdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?fea...

Re: Scorpion colour question

Well the painting is finished, colour has finished up definitely more cream than white, but it looks OK. Some colour sanding has brought out a little more white. Onto more sanding and buffing..... https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-yZ59bX1Hxho/VUa88kC0U-I/AAAAAAAAP-M/MuTNF4N08G8/w927-h695-no/DSCF168...

Re: Scorpion colour question

Thanks for the replies. Have decided to go with the paint I have. Although a little different to what is on this car and also a spare parts car (also Polar white and different again), the colour isn't bad. I sanded some of the new paint back with 1200 wet and dry and the colour looked a little more ...

Re: Rust repair sections?

Thanks guys, those are the lower sections I need.

The retrorods pieces are a good price, so will give them a go. They are listing one part number for Scorpions so I guess the guard sections are the same through all the models, hopefully.

Thanks again,
Col.

Rust repair sections?

Hi guys, Picked up a 1982 Scorpion recently, but it has some rust in both of the lower sections of the front guards. Does anybody make lower guard repair sections for the Scorpions? Failing that I was thinking secondhand full guards or even sections. Are all the Scorpion guards the same? Would they ...
