Richard,

No prices on their web-site but they are advertising on E-bay.

Paul Hughes is one of the chaps at 2spec, a sprint owner for many years.
I did hear of somebody with a blackline fitted, he was happy enough with it....

That unit is a torque biasing LSD so more for fast road use. 3J Driveline do a plate type LSD, which is usually the one used in race cars as it allows for full lockup. Depends on what you want it for. You will need an LSD specific oil in the diff.

RD prices are plus VAT..... so £600 all in. (I have been caught by that when I urgently needed some stuff last year, and they were the only place with stock)

I dealt with 2Spec when they rebuilt my LSD axle. He took an unknown provenance (original) Triumph LSD unit and refurbished it, see below for general list of work undertaken.

- Case refurbished(blasted and painted)

- Sourcing replacement crown wheel and pinion.

- Machined brake back-plates for me

- New bearings

- Rebuilt with my original/uprated ST halfshafts.

He also had some investigating to do as he couldn't set the end float up correctly initially. I can't remember the exact reason for this but it was unusual. For this reason alone im glad I sent it to them.

They weren't cheap though, the total bill was c£1300. But for this you get complete peace of mind over the build, and for me this was important as i'll end up chucking it around tracks at great speed.

Overall i'd recommend them :)

I've attached some pictures also.

Let me know if you need any more info.
