LSD for a P6....Would you be interested??

I asked this question many years ago but thought I would again now. I have contacted Quaife who have suggested they might be able to produce an Lsd to fit within the original diff casing of the P6. Costing would be dependant on the number of units built, the minimum being ten. So I just wondered who, if anyone, would be interested in having one?? The cost would be around £700 depending on numbers.
 
That's remarkably reasonable! There is one already available from alan Ramsbottom at Classeparts in Leighton Buzzard. But his is much dearer. Be aware that idf you go down this route you will need uprated input shaft (already available from Alan) and uprated output stub shafts (not yet tackled) as both these components are susceptible to torsional shear failure in the standard set up.

I agree in part, the shaft issue needs addressing before an LSD. But as Kman1600 has
demonstrated fitting a Jag diff is not impossible and solves both requirements more
economically.

Thanks for the replies. I had a chat with Alan at Classeparts, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable chap. I can see me spending time and money with him!! I need to supply a sample diff to Quaife before the final quote but the minimum order would be 10. As I dont think that there is much interest I wont go ahead .
As you say there is always the Jag IRS route, with my project I would prefer to stay with the original set up and just improve it. But I would imagine after buying the Jag axle and paying someone to mount it correctly the cost would be similar? Ill look into it anyway. I can see my budget being dissapearing very quickly :roll:
 
Hi Jester

I think you misunderstand us there!

We're not advocating fitting the whole Jag back end - just the diff! The de dion etc are all retained.
