Default '05 differential conversion bracket for c5 diff.

iv been reading up on a few threads the couple days and seen a lot of people running c5 diff's in the 05 vettes since the 05 sucks. no one sells the conversion bracket im guessing? iv looked and haven't found any. I already have a extra t-56 trans sitting in the garage out of an 05 same as mine, I just figure its cheaper doing a c5 diff rather than buying a 06+ diff and tail housing kit for the trans. I seen a thread on how to make a bracket but the pics are gone. I work at a fabrication facility and have access to a burn table and water jet, aluminum welders what ever really. just looking to see if someone knows someone who sells these or has a detailed write up with pics. thanks!

So please help me understand this, so all I need to change on my 05 differential is to any regular C-5 differential and what else, like what is the total part list?

PM Norm or known on the forum as Stanger383 for the C5 Diff mount. Get a Z06 c5 diff. The reason for the Z06 diff is because it has 3 ribs and not one like the others. You need one from an automatic too. That and the bracket is all you need. It is a great upgrade.

What he said....almost. Good luck finding a C5Z diff from an auto. If you do find one, keep it as a collectors item. C5 & C6 Z are manual only.
