The Diffs that Henry has are those as fitted to Prototype 4WD Mokes. They have a factory Part Number
I can find no reference to that number, but I am also aware that the E on the end of the prefix means that it came from the Experimental Dept. The letter Y means Australian Manufacture (or design at least). I've made several approaches to Henry to see if he'd part with these and I know others have too, he seems rather attached to them, maybe he has a project in mind?
These have a ratio of ~2.1:1, way way to tall for any RWD vehicle that I know of! and your Ant stuff is also very tall. I can get these cut, but fairly expensive.
It would be reasonably easy to convert a 4 synch box to take the Ant bits, just time consuming. If I were to do it, rather than use the bits from the Ant Box, I'd fabricate and / or machine new parts the same (maybe with mods), it would be easier and a better end result.
For my own 4WD Moke, I'll be making the gearbox, including the transfer housing. It will have a similar layout to the 4WD Moke Box, but 5 speed with Hi / lo range. The main gear set is Japanese. Honestly, not a difficult task - just time!! The rear suspension design I'm still working on. I've looked at a number of set ups now, but for something as short as the Moke, swing arms are pretty hard to go past and it's likely I'll run with those. Like yourself, I'm looking to do the job with minimal body mods, I'll be using a face lift body (80 - 82) as these were re-arranged for the 4WD Moke that we never got!!
The more I looked at the detail of what the Australian Factory did with what they had to work with, they were damn clever with what they did. If only they had a gearcase like the Metro Turbo's - which was still ~2 years in the future at that time - and used a wider CW&P, things might well have been different.
Looking forward to the Ant pics
