Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has a spare Quaife LSD laying around to suit a swing axle that they want to sell. Although I am in Sydney and am happy to buy if near by, it looks like I will need it to be up in Queensland.

Dave Butler is going to be checking over a gearbox I have and although I haven't asked him yet, I thought whilst he has it apart I should get a LSD slipped in.

Here is one for those that don't know about them - http://www.quaife.co.uk/shop/products/qdf9r

Thanks, Kevin

OZ Towdster - point taken and a good one, thanks. Waiting on a quote for NZ, Quaife's ozzie supplier.

Sides - Sorry I forgot to mention for a swing axle 🥲 (first post edited).

Thanks, Kev

Heh heh - no worries Kev !!!

😉

Palmside in NZ is who I went through - pretty good to deal with, and worked out quite a bit cheaper on freight going through them rather than direct from Quaife

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

Thanks Ian,

But my long term plan has always been for an EFI, Turbo setup so I am planing for the future. And even if a weekend car, I think you still need something that can take a hard time.

Thanks Sides - just got a price back from Palmside.

Kev

P.S. Ian, what box do you have in Rose's car ???

No, I decided to go without for now. But if you organise a future group buy and the wife says ok, I will consider grabbing one.

Cheers, Kev
