It's been a bit quiet on the forum for the last few days, so why not another quiz ?

We'll go 1 question at a time.

Which Holden was the first to see a Borg Warner diff ?

No prize for the correct answer, just a warm feeling inside.

Byron, you're not allowed to answer.

Do you mean all GMH products (manufactured or assembled or complianced here)?

Do you mean a whole Borg Warner assembly or just gears?

VB no, UC no, (VB & UC used GMH Salisbury diffs), early 4 Torries no (they had Vauxhall diffs).

I honestly don't know. I thought maybe the early 2.78:1 banjo centres were outsourced to Borg Warner, but you say whole axle. Maybe the TX Gemini or the Shuttle?

That is after VK which had a Borg Warner. TX Gemini and the Shuttle are the only 2 x rear wheel drives I can think of.

Byron, TX Gemini is correct, but didn't you read the rules.

Seriously though, all the Isuzu RWD commercials (Rodeo, Shuttle etc.) had Japanese Isuzu diffs & these vehicles were fully imported anyway.

OK, i'll stay out of the next one. Gemini was just a guess though, I couldn't think of any other earlier GMH product that might have been a candidate. Out of interest, who built the early HK 2.78 LSD banjo centres for GMH? Were these Borg Warner or Eaton?

As I understand it, BW supplied the cone type LSD hemisphere for all Holden-built LSDs. GM-H always made there own cases & gears etc. (Up to VK anyway).

The TX/TC Geminis were unique in that they used a whole BW diff assembly, up until the GM-H (UC style) small Salisbury came along for the TD.

Bedfords are not badged or sold as Holdens.

I think it was HT. I have a HK and some docs/books for it and am pretty confident you could not get one on HKs but I have seen HT in a brochure somewhere, or maybe a book with a Monaro on it I think, with one mounted on the rear quarter.

What was the first Holden model to get an engine temperature gauge as standard fitting.

Don't count the HD or HR X2 gauge-set, as these were fitted only if you optioned the X2 engine or were available as an option on their own.
