How does one then fit the M05 cup shafts in to the M03 chassis? Does it imply removing the M05 cup shaft system altogether and replacing with the TA03 touring system or is there an intermediate bearing with OD small enough to fit the small M03 opening but also big enough to carry the M05 cup shafts?

The reason for also this is because I would like to fit the M05 oil filled diff in to the M03 but one assumes the same conundrum still applies?

Thanks and regards

Go back to page 1360 and read ruebiracer's posts. This may answer your question, if I understood it properly. Matthias(?) is a pretty sharp guy and probably answer your questions.

Hope this helps.
