[Fot] TR 4 Differentials

[Bill Babcock]

If you like the standard diff by all means run one, they are the most reliable
and cheapest of all the options. detroit lockers work great but they are not
particularly reliable. I have no stats to support that idea, just a practical
theory (parts that get banged around are less reliable than those that don't)
and the fact that every locker I've seen has been repaired numerous times.

I have run my TR-4A (solid axle) in vintage racing for three years with the
stock differential with no problems until it lock - unlocked - and then broke
completely at Sears Point.  I am down to two choices. Another stock one since
I like the way the car handled with the stock one or a Detroit locker which I
understand works well if you are fairly smooth get your breaking done and then
accelerate  out of the turn without much on and off the gas.

Any thoughts.  Reliability?? Handling??

Thanks,
