    Has anyone fitted a proper plated style LSD into an URq rear diff body? If so, do you have any details?

    It was quite a few years ago. Let me dig out my notes on it and come back to you.

    Just FYI, the Torsen Rear diff from V8 is a lot weaker then the original Diff, many of them have been killed because of that (WOT when one of the rears is on loose surface and other on tarmac or drag launches).

    In the wet both inside wheels would slip and it was hard to get the power down. Thats where a Torsten rear diff would have helped. As the corner opened out the car would start to grip and power moved to the rear as the inside got traction, more you get the power down at the back the more it would take - felt a bit RWD.
    Yeah that just about sums it up nicely. She just hunkers down at the rear and goes nose up!!
