just get an open e21 diff from someone on here, i think they are the same anyway but you might upset the O2 crowd if you weld one of there diffs up.
im currently welding a diff at the mo, its a lot of fun!

It will fit BUT you will need to change the rear diff casing to an E21, thats why as tommi the motronic boy says its better just to get an e21 diff !
