Hey,

Work out if there will still be enough spline to go into the spider gears, if so then you can get the ends cut off. I have done it myself a few times, the Axles in my AE86 Race car have been cut as they were non LSD axles.

If the spline is not long enough you can get this spline machined further on the shaft then cut to the correct length.

year nar the splines wont be long enough once i cut them is it expensive to get them machined to suit the ke20 ones

[NZ_AE86]

As long as the splines just need to be extended I can't see it costing more then 50 bucks a side.

I have the phone No. at work of the dude who can cut the splines. I will get it tomorrow for you. If you give him a call he will be able to give you a price.

What u talkin about Willis most ke20 diffs are b code 5.7" so u code ke70 wont even fit into the side gears :p
Have ya checked that?

You need to put the KE70 U code centre in as well, and before you consider resplining the axles you may find the axle is too narrow after the spline to be able to. I think you need U code Starlet axles.
