hi ian, i would of thought if your using siera hubs, then you will need the same for the shafts and diff so as it all maches up, or bmw running gear,are you building a cradle to sit the diff in ,and not running off an axle mated to rear swing arm,with shocks,  |

Ive used sierra diffs before with sierra shafts, note...left and right shafts are different lengths, about 1&1/2" between them. I used 2 shorter ones to keep diff central and the overall width of trike a little narrower. The bottom rails of frame came right through to back of trike and were used to mount the lower of 2 "H" arms which all had 4 "oil-lite" bushes in them, 2 connected to bottom of one off backplates on wheel and 2 onto the frame. That was duplicated on the upper "H" arms and fitted to top of wheel backplates and parrallel top rails of frame. Further to this each side had an extra diagonal "brace" forward mounted on the lower frame rails to the "H" arms with same bushes to eliminate any "torque" movement. I opted for "H" arms instead of the usual "A" type to give more stability. No anti-roll bar was fitted or needed and when going into a corner it allowed trike to lean a little like a bike. All this worked very well and the new owner is still pleased with it even after nearly 5 years.
hope this is useful to you

I was going to use BMW 3 series as you can get different ratios.
