I'm assuming the 12 bolt from Moser is designed for a third gen and has the torque arm mount cast into the housing.

Brakes? Do the original brakes easily adapt the the new housing? Diff oil. Are you sure the new yoke on the 12 bolt is a 1350? Hey just asking.

Other than that it should be a direct swap.

the torque arm bolts on directly. have the oil already. the brakes bolt on directly to the 12 bolt (i heard) and i posted "u-joint selection" on steve spohn's site and he said i needed the 3R to 1350 u-joint or neapco part #2-1153. i ordered that up but i think i'm still missing a part or two. thanx man

I don't know about the 3R part for the third gen yoke. Precision part number for third gen u-joints is 534G. Not sure who's part number 3R is.

Gets some tools and start swapping the diff.
