I have on its way to me a LSD, as some people will know from my Readers Ride thread. But obviously I'll need someone who knows what they're doing to fit it for me. I've been advised not to try & fit it myself as some measurements have to be very accurate. Does anyone know anywhere in the Notts/Lincs/Derby area that might be able to help?  I beleive this is how the diff will look when I get it if that helps at all??? |

I got my Nismo LSD installed buy a place down at Silverstone. I've forgotten the name but rearwheelnick might know it. I was recommended them and have no complaints about the work they did. They charged me £150 to do it.

I had a Midget gearbox rebuilt by some blokes in a unit down Chesterfield Road - this was a while ago though - they were across from machine mart behind (what was?) the DIY place.
They were recommended by a mates dad in the trade, and so far the 'box has lasted 35-40k miles coping with 75% bhp over standard.

I know a guy who might well be into this for you as well if that doesn't come off.

I'll get my diff taken out the axel & when the slippy one arrives I might be in touch. Thanks for your help people yet again. Filmidget, if you find out what the place in mansfield is called, if you could let me know that'd be great
