For you guys looking for acid, forget it !

If you are after information on Volvo's LSD I think I may have stumbled onto something quite handy while looking for something else.

From those in the know - are they al the same as far as width goes?

I have one here that I was gunna use in a project which was abandoned.

Disc brakes and strong as buggery.

Its 1400mm face to face.It came out of an 84 station wagon.

Dunno if its a limo or not.Ive never taken the hat off.

Its been sitting out side for a few years now,so the brakes need a major service,but it can be had cheap by anyone who wants it.

Real cheap.....

The Volvo/Dana diffs are a strong and cheap but the LSD centres are expensive. PURPL8 and another SA car (blown 6 burnout pano) both use them with no breakages that I have heard of.
There is a cheaper aftermarket LSD solution from 4WD Systems, it essentially locks the diff all the time and unlocks it for corners etc.
