Does anyone know what's involved in changing a open diff to a LSD when keeping the case and just changing the internals?
Is it just a case of replacing the internal pinion with a LSD unit?

Thanks muchly

I would have thought he want to keep the ratio of the open one.

Less grief? Iv put a M60 in my E30. Swapping diff internals is no grief :wink:
Exactly that maggs it's the ratio I want to try and keep.
