[Fot] Advice on Differential - Stock, Lock or LSD

[Joe Alexander]

Lifting Wheel: It's not clear to us what we did with the suspension, but the
wheel does not lift and spin on our TR4. It did in the first few years. We do
have a slightly wider track when we added spacers.

I have been using a Quaife in my Spitfire for the last 10 years.  I have no
complaints other than the fact that, once you lift the right rear tire,
you've
got an open diff.  Otherwise, so far so good.

I'll be experimenting with a Detroit Locker this year, which I hear is going
to require a slight modification of driving style.

Well my GT6 has O/D and so it was supposed to have the 3.89 ratio diff.  But
I
have found that was swapped out at some point to a 3.27.  I want to go back
to
a 3.89 unit.  Any good sources for one?  And for road racing, should I go
stock, weld it, or go with a LSD.  I hear of a lot of failures with the
Quaife
units - so I hate to throw a grand at that product.  Any advice is
appreciated!

Thanks,

Chuck Watson
