[Tigers] LSD ( Posi ) for tiger

[Steve Laifman]

Phil, and Tigers,

The original rear axle was made by Dana's gear unit  (Salisbury) in 
England.  The one used in a some Jaguar Sedans uses the same ring gear / 
bolt size and circle, so you don't have to get the the Ring and Pinion 
set from US cars that are not 2.88:1. (Providing you find a non-abused 
one in a "Slightly, but carefully used, Junque Shoppe".)

 It is a direct bolt-in replacement, but setting up the clearances and 
pre-loads is a job for a pro with a set-up for adjusting the shims.  
Likely a 4 wheel drive shop is equipped, and familiar with this 
process.  The hub/axles must be removed from the original, and that 
isn't easy.

I'd give my personal experiences, but the nice Jag unit is still sitting 
in the box it came in.
