WTB - Anyone have a spare Quaife laying around
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  (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

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
