Scorpions from GH onwards havt the 10 bolt Mitsubishi diffs (NOT B/W) Some sigma's did have them but I couldn't tell you which ones.

I'm not sure the wagons ever had a Mitsubishi diff, but the GE Scorps (8 bolt Mitsubishi), and the GH Scorps (10 bolt Mitsubishi) diff's will fit the sigma wagons and the GE/GH Sigma's.

Cheers.

ah thats great info thanks, do those ten bolt diffs all have disc brake rear? and are the discs vented do you know?

[woops]

I've never heard of one that isn't disc braked and no they aren't vented. You can apparently make them vented though with a set of starion rear calipers and discs which bolt to the caliper brackets no problems. I haven't given this a go yet but will do in the next few weeks hopefully.

All the 10 bolt diffs are solid disc.
You can swap the rear starion calipers and discs on with minimal fuss. From memory, the only thing I had to do was swap the handbrake end support from the standard caliper to the starion caliper. Total brake swap-out and bleed should take you less than 1 hour.

Hey mate,
For what its worth, The earlier scorps; GE & GH use a single cable, where as the later models use two seperate cables.

Good luck with the search....
