Sorry Dan, my day went a bit tits up towards the end of afternoon so I didn't get chance to examine my LSD. I'm still not convinced this is LSD though so if you really want a LSD I'd give it a body swerve unless you can get definite confirmation of the diff's status.

Light surface rust should be no problem.
Turning 1 output on an LSD should turn the other the same way

thanks for the replys, ive decided not to go with this diff now, mainly because of big verns comment about all of the viscous drives failing, dont think that this diff will be up to the job!

Dan,
My LSD's were only failing due to dumping the clutch with high revs and 1.6 Bar boost (aprox 300hp)

BV.

bv, the engine that i am using is a v8 so there will be a hell of alot of torque going into the diff and i have plans to tune the engine aswell so i dont think it will be worth the risk.

Just picked up an 3.6 open diff which will do for now, will take me up to iva after ill either go for a "propper" lsd or an electronic diff locker.

Dan

Hi Dan, I whipped the rear cover off my diff which is definitely LSD and it looks much like your one only without the rusty bits . I did take a photo on my phone but I've gone and left the PC-phone lead at work dozy bugger ain't I?
