so what do people think? is it worth buying a second hand lsd and putting the centre in one of my open diffs? or welding up one of my open diffs instead? its for a dedicated track car too, no street duty at all!

what is the general consensus?

thanks for everyone's input and help

so in theory i could take out the JB lsd centre and put it in my open diff? if its not as worn on any teeth on any of the gears/pinions/wheels or whatever, then there should be no clunking or free play and i should have a working lsd?
