Errol,
Thanks for the Gazelle axle tip, the price sounds good as well.
I'll have a look around and see if I can locate one in Sydney first - I'd be
lucky though.
How much would freight cost? - I have access to a forklift at work.
The main thing is the LSD.
I want to stop the inside wheel from spinning and robbing me of what little
power I have when I need it most.
Given that I don't need a super short ratio, how much?
I think I have pretty much exhausted the 720 diff option in Sydney.
As far as I can understand, traction control is not yet banned in PRC. This
could be an easier, cheaper, and better performing alternative to an LSD.
