Yep that's basically what I did only I didn't beat the housing I modified the bolt, and I filled the old holes with weld, four of the holes get quite close as you can see in pics.
Don't like the spacer idea either, rather change the driveshaft.

I did that exact conversion to mine... altho next time i may just put the whole toyota housing in as axle bearings are heavier...

I put the toyota UJ on the driveshaft so no spacer.

Nice Job!

Its a good option if your not a looking to become a burnout king and dont need the extra strength of a hilux diff.
I have avoided using a hilux diff since going in a car before and after one was fitted, seamed to drain the life out of it quite considerably.
Especially n/a rotaries which don't make a lot of torque anyway.

Well done, Jolly good show.
If you don't mind my asking... how much did the lsd conversion end up costing you all up?

Really awesome sedan you've built, will be a loads of fun to drive, loving that colour on it too.
Are you planning to keep it now, or still considering selling?
I would snap it up in a second if I had the coin.

Thanks, I go through stages of wanting too and not. If I get busy on other peoples stuff and go for weeks looking at it not getting anything done I just want it gone but when I get into it again I love it.
Ended up costing roughly $1600 give or take, that's a good donor h165 complete diff, new ae86 discs, primera p10 calipers, new pads, made brackets myself, and an ae86 lsd.
