Anyone know where to get an LSD for a 1500 spitfire? Only suppliers I can see are Quaife (then I have to build it myself) or Moss (out of stock)
-
I had this problem after replacement of the adjusters. The new ones are bigger than the originals (copy/generic part). I had to grind a couple of mm (thickness of a Sharpie pen) from the very end of both shoes to allow them to close up enough.
-
I got a 2 pin electronic flasher for my mini off of eBay, that was ok (and same circuit as a triumph)
-
Also mentioned here: https://youtu.be/RlbF6a0vkxw

I'll be honest and say I didn't notice, but I used the originals on that so looks like I got lucky there !
-
The ones that came off were shoulder bolts, but not tapered as were the new ones. Did double check (been caught out like that before). They were all fitted with spring washers same as the originals. Thanks for checking though (never know when I'll miss something lol)
-
Well the bearings came off relatively easily (3 leg puller used). Worst job was getting the new bushes in the rear of the diff, took a bit of buffing of the bush and the diff case before they would press in. Gave the case a quick lick of paint and replaced all of the bolts
-
Expecting to do the same, so I bought a new set
-
Then knocked out the pinion bearing and seal (there are cut outs in the case so you can knock it out)
-
Kept the bearings and shims together on the diff. Then removed the pinion
-
Then removed drive flanges (Will need to remove the bearings and then get to the seals) Then split the case
-
Removed front mounting plate
-
So made a start before lunch Removed nut (was 1 1/8 ) Got this kit from ANG
-
Will do. Mine has what looks like a nylock type nut. Elin on YouTube has also done this job
-
No me neither, I'll have another go at measuring it tomorrow. Thanks anyway mate (Just checked, Google says 1 1/8 is about 28.5mm, was sure I had that socket! Time for a hunt )
