You can run a 24 spline and 10 spline providing you have matching half shafts.

And providing they are both the same ratio of course !

If they are both from coil sprung vehicles, then they ought to be though.

Quicker to just swap the diff and half shafts.

Count the teeth on the crown wheel just
to make sure it's the same ratio as the
one your taking out.

Id just do diff and half shafts.  All the same fittings.

10 spline stuff much easier to get hold off.

If your 24 spline shafts are going spare I'll buy them off you.   :wink:
