WTB - Anyone have a spare Quaife laying around
Camo - January 13th, 2012 at 07:31 PM

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has a spare Quaife LSD laying around to suit a [size=4]swing axle[/size] 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 :fakesniff: (first post edited).

Thanks, Kev

save your money.

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

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.

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
