[Tigers] Limited slip differential

[Gary]

 Gary,
The original Salisbury Dana 44 (British Dana Corp Subsidiary) 3rd members and original ring gears in Tigers all have 7/16" bolts, while the American Dana 44 units and ring gears all have 3/8" bolts. If you're putting the British gears on the American 3rd member, the ring gear holes in the rearend housing need to be drilled out to accommodate the 7/16" bolts. If you are putting the American gears on the British unit, you need 3/8" ID 7/16" OD sleeves for the bolts. All 2.88 gears I've seen have the 7/16" ring gear bolts. I've never seen a set of 2.88 gears that had 3/8" bolts.

   Yeah, I remember that was to use the original 2.88 gears, you needed stepped bolts. 
   I did use my 2.88 gears (I think work great with my wide ratio T-5) and the shop knew all that.

I'm not sure to what extent this matters but I recall there were some Diff's that had different size ring gear bolts (and/or visa versa). Perhaps this is just with the Jaguar innards? I believe it was remedied with stepped bolts or some kind of sleeve over the bolt. Anyway, I thought I'd throw this out there for others with more knowledge to expound on if you were unaware.

   With that engine you'll definitely need a double striper rearend. I rebuild and sell the LAT50 limited slips units set up for street or track. Have done over 100 of them and shipped them to Tiger owners all over the world.   Unfortunately I'm out of stock right now, but I can put you on the list.   Gary

     Now that the Tiger is back on the road after a 27 year hiatus. With the new motor that dyno’d 370 & 360 at the crank I need both tires involved.   
   Lot’s of conflicting stuff. Have heard clutch bases system is best because the car is so light. Another that the Truetrac is best. Avoid a locker. If the locker is dialed in correctly with soft enough springs it doesn’t lock suddenly and is best.    
   Any thoughts?
