That would now make seven people asking for the LSD.

I'm going to list it on Ebay to get the max cash.

Complete with the axle but without the Stag/Sprint Drive flanges.

Once I get round to fitting the New One.

I'll put a post on the board when I finally get round to it.
Worth a try though I guess Phil. What about the Drive flanges? They up for sale or are you keeping them for sentimental/new axle purposes?

Rebuilding the Sprint time taken so far, 111Hrs@15/12/2020
212Hrs @31/12/2021
352 @ 28/11/2022
455Hrs @ 20/10/2023
480Hrs @ 14/03/2024
This is time taken at the Sprint not necessary time worked.

Working on a ratio of just 7Hrs a day not including driving to the Sprint.
That equals to 68 days that doesn’t include weekends.

I'm intrigued now. I remember you saying the rears were much harder than the fronts to convert to the stag wheels. what was involved at the front?

Well most of the info is on the above site.

The rear's where trickey being the Stag flange was machined out to suit the Sprint Halfshaft and the Drum's then redrilled to suit.

Front's where trial fitting different size space's to get the Disc,Caliper and keeping all the other brake parts central then a final machining of the correct size spacer's.
