LSD installation parts: axle shafts or early e21 flanges

[ThisIsTheRanger]

From the info I have gathered, I can use any of the following methods to install my LSD. In order of preference, they are:

-'79 e21 axle shafts

-early model e21 diff flanges (8mm holes)

-e21 axle shafts

-conditional: diff spacers depending on which of these parts someone has

According to Gil:

If you have a later 320i diff., you have two options. You can use 02 outer CV joints and 02 or early 320i axles and 1979 only 320 CV joints on the inboard end. You will need the same 1/4" spacers with this setup, but will need longer 10mm bolts. Alternatively, you can use 02 CV joints on the outboard end, later 320i axles and later 320i CV joints on the inboard sides. With this setup, you will need 3/16" spacers and longer 10mm bolts.

Thanks in advance,
