Nick,
A Gazelle axle complete drum to drum with centre is $350. I f you want the
housing modified for 0.75 degrees neg camber and 3mm toe this cost $250
extra including strip down cleaning and build up. I do not do brake
conversions.
Cheers
Feral Errol

What would you ask for a Gazelle axle Errol?
What do they come with? I.E
I am considering buying a SSS axle just so I can get the sway bar and
mounts
from it, also I have a S2 Bluebird TRX axle with anti-tramp dampers on it.
These two features, plus discs, would be great to have.
In terms of an LSD, all I really need is the centre. Don't forget that I am
running a near stock L20 (Ported open chamber head, ~9:1 compression,
advanced 248 degree cam, Headers, SU's,Electronic Ign, etc...), it probably
won't rev hard so a short ratio would be unsuitable anyway.
As far as I can tell, there are two types of H190 LSD, the 'high teeth' -
short ratio >=4.375:1 - and standard.
