That's not a SD1 rear end.

Duh, Beans.
Just for clarification of rear end.

There is something about the SD1 rears that is good.
I just can't remember what it was.

Not sure what it's from but those look like Ford Taurus SHO brakes.

Indeed the only really difference between TR7 and SD1.
And the wider track and different axle mounting brackets of course [;)]

Was it a better ratio, rear cover?

Didn't the SD1 have psi?

Hi Don,

No standard SD1 came with any form of LSD, the ratio's depended on the engine but used the same CWP as our cars, except the 2.84 :1 that was only Vanden Plas Auto EFI approx 1300 cars.

The rear cover is alloy due the mounting pin for the watts linkage, look good with pin removed and polished though [8D]
