Most stuff is interchangeable but you will find a few changes that make life hard. Brake calipers are the same as far as I am aware. The 76 onwards RX4 have lower wishbone front suspension and larger bolts in the bottom of the struts. The 12a models have a smaller diff and axles, but I have fitted 13b centre and axles with only a small mod. The pedal box I think would be the same and the I think the bell housing on the gearbox might be slightly different on the 12a model (top mount starter?). There is a few good RX4 Gurus on the Ausrotary forum they would be able to help as well.

Cheers

Series 1 and 2 diffs as far as I know are the same. From the photos the it looks like a short nose diff which is the same as an RX4 so should be a good chance that it's the right one. Series 3 first gen RX7s had bigger axles.
