[Fot] Quaife for Spitfire/GT6

[John Hasty]

Just wondering why no one has mentioned the Salisbury unit...I find that it works great...not sure exactly how it is set up....maybe 60/30...Larry, do you remember?

I don't know anything about the Yukon, but I can say that the PhantomGrip is more phantom than grip.  When I tried it, my times did not improve any over an open diff.  Save your money on that option.

The Quaife does provide limited slip potential but because it is torque biased, if you break an axle or U-Joint on one side, you lose all drive on both sides.  So you will be pushing the car off the course.

Jason,

Take a look at these options. Marcel uses the Yukon I believe and the other lets you convert your diff to a LSD..
I have tried neither but they look like good options to the Quaife.

This diff is going to be used for autox, vintage race, and street....I think the Quaife offers the best compromise for me- welded spiders would be a bit too much.

Not to spark a huge debate, but I simply weld the spider gears. It's a little cheaper.
Of course the driving style is a little different.
