You can use a repair kit for a Ford Atlas (V6 Capri) LSD unit.

They have 4 friction plates in, but you only need 2, they're Ԛ£120.

To rebuild 'as standard' is bad value, the only rebuild kits I know of are approx Ԛ£120. This is a double rebuild kit for a Ford 'Atlas' LSD, which contains extra clutch plates. (Atlas uses twin plate each side for a nicer lock).

All the diffs we build have the LSD casing machined to use a twin plate set up which is cost effective when you have to buy a twin plate repair kit.

Probably not.

It makes sense to spend (Ԛ£not much) to have the housing/end plate machined, in order to use a four plate set up.

They're much nicer to use and more durable.

Are you guys increasing the locking efficiency while it's in bits? (Another Ԛ£not much for the machining.)

MORE INFO PLEASE:)

Do you mean increasing the lockup, or do you mean something else by 'efficiency'?

Props to whoever discovered this

M3Compact, how do you get the 4 plates to work?
Thanks
