UC Bonnet, try Wreckers, 9 Inch... Just wait for one on ebay, or try a Diff Specialist somewhere.... Yellow Pages

I dunno about other areas but in Eastern Melbourne, UCs are everywhere in Wreckers, and you wouldn't have any problems finding a perfect one cheap.

As far as 9"s go, keep you eyes out on eBay as Matt said, or even the Trading Post. They come around but don't expect to find one the first time you look. If you don't have a restrictive budget, take Matt's second piece of advice and check out actual Diff Specialists. (Then you can trust them to have less wear etc, and customize your options. Full-spool, Mini-spool, LSD, Single Spinner, Axles etc)

It may also be hard to find a UC 9 inch, as i know that UC's have a different floorplan to LX's (besides A9X) So i am not sure how well the Mounts bolt up. One more thing, u could always Try puting in a 10 Bolt Salsbury, these are the diff's that were in A9X's i believe so im sure they would be stronger than the standard unit... Sorry if im a little vague but im not really that knowledgeable when it comes to the UC's.... Best of Luck :spoton:

I have a spare UC bonnet or two. Are you anywhere near Melbourne? I have a 1 tonne van, so I can deliver it.

Not a great deal, more like funds to help pay for the fuel bill. Avoid the Taiwanese stuff. I bought a new ching chong panel once, never again.
