I don't think you done too bad, I didn't inc shipping or the dreaded VAT which I'm excempt from because it's going outside the UK

 

:cornut: No help here but I'll 'bump you' and one of our experienced gear heads should be along soon.

I have heard that the ford one is more likely to behave like an open diff as opposed to the quaife. I eventually plan on going with the quaife from a price point its not that much more than the ford part.

 

Actually the Quaife is the one that will spin a tire on ice. And last tme I checked the Ford unit was around $700 and the Quaife was still about $1200.

 

And here is a nice write-up on diff's.....

Differentials (Open, LSD and so on)

 

My quaife diff arrived yesterday I bought direct from them in the UK And with conversion to dollar it worked out at $860 it's due to be fitted this week as part of a rebuild, so will let you know the difference when it's up and running

Nice......looks like the Quaife is now around $1000 at most vendors.

 

Both units Are torsen style. So on I they will both act the same as an open trick is a little brake pressure will lock either up to pull your self off the ice.
