When there is Quaife and other thoroughly tested products to be had...

Agree with Odd, doesn't look to confident inspiring [8)]
I have a Quaife ATB diff in my Sprint for well over 10 years, and it's been utterly reliable so far [:)]

This was discussed on another forum ...here is a sample of what the comments were. None of them good.

What it amounts to is a bunch of metal parts that are installed into the differential and exert pressure on the planetary gears that keep the thing from favoring one side over the other. It is all based on friction and after installing one in a Spitfire differential, I can truthfully say that I could not tell any difference in that and an open diff.

That's not true.

Any petrolhead would feel his wallet $349.95 + shipping and installation lighter . [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D] [}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)]

Why would a Spitfire need a limited slip diff?

The list/forum that I got that from was Fot or Friends of Triumph which is for people who have Triumph race cars, so I assume that it was a racing application in the Spitfire.
