Hi Greg,

Just a month ago the differential was replaced with a limited slip from a
Nissan Z car. It was a used but low mileage diff with a ratio of 4.10. The
installation hardware came from Richard Good and was nicely made. The change
has been dramatic with the car being much quieter. Not only were the old
diff mounts warn but the gears also sang. All in all a great upgrade that
I'd recommend when increasing power. Perhaps over the winter I can get a
Corvair axle hub set ready.

Rick

  Hi Rick, did you swap out the diff to something more robust or are you
running the TR6 OEM differential?
