You can use Ford Atlas (Capri) rebuild packs. They're Ԛ£120 and you get 4 plates but you only need 2. If you get your LSD casing machined you can fit all 4 plates and it makes the diff much nicer to use.

do you know how to rebuild the diff? or is it like all other LSDԚ´s

also how do I have the LSD casing machined

Any idea where you can get the plate kits from?

I've tried searching on google but not had much luck

Cheers!

It's just a standard ZF LSD unit.

The casing/end plate need machining to allow for the increased length of the cluster with the extra plates. (Approx 50 thou, and a plain washer/spacer discarded.)

Any idea where you can get the plate kits from?

Some 4 plate Atlas kits on the shelf here:

So is it possible to convert an open diff to an lsd?

[Turbo-Brown]

I'm looking at a couple of options at the mo.

One is to make an LSD using the bits from an open diff having made a new carriage, other being to make something which applies pressure to the little gears inside, although that wouldn't provide much of a lock up

Hi

Can you keep us (me!) informed on this conversion mate? I've got an open diff that would be ideal to re-build for the racer into an LSD as a spare.
