ill vote 14 bolt simply because there are 1.7 jillion of them all over the place. but from a strength and use standpoint, either will work fine for you. the other thing i would be inclined to look at is brake part availability. if the OEM brakes are hard to find parts for on the 60, id avoid it. the 14 bolt was used in some form from 1973 through 2004-5ish. they are easy to find parts for.

my experience with G80s is that they are full of cute little parts but i have HAMMERED, and i mean ruthlessly, every one ive ever had. never blown one up. if there is nothing in there and you are looking for a traction aid, i would not use it unless i had no money and a free G80.

any plans for a front axle upgrade?
