I looked through the parts compatibility list. and it looks like the bones will work from a b5m in the B6. Just wanted to make sure that if I held onto my mip pucks/ball diff that I could use it in the b6? Thanks. Will the bones work only or will the whole assembled axle work?

I have one question, imagine someone buy a B6d, and all necessary parts to convert it to laydow as an option to use when racing in high grip tracks. Will I need 2 bodys?. Maybe I am wrong, but if you cut your body to fit in a B6d trans, when you change to laydown trans it will not be covered by anything because the part of the body to cover the spur and pinnion has been already cutted.
This means we will need two bodys depending what trans we use.

I found it funny because I thought I was the last guy still running 4 gear on the B5M.

Not exactly, in the B5M you can cut your body to use both trans with only 1 body, but in the B6D, if you cut it, when you install the laydown trans, the spur will not be protected by the body itself, so it will be outside the body and with no cover.

They made a new part number for the b6 ball and gear diff.... But the gear diff parts sold separately all are compatible with the b5m...that's odd, furthermore the b6 ball diff out drives don't list as being compatible, but the cva axles and bones are compatible. A little bit of deduction based reasoning tells me that the b5m ball and gear diff will work perfect in the b6...can anyone prove me wrong?
