Hi Stephen (MFactory), did not forget about you. I'll be in touch for that LSD on dec 9 or 10... ;-)

Beleive me, if I was located in the states and not Aus I would have done the whole pumpkin swap and i'd already be leaving twin lines down my street...

I have the mfactory machined ring and pinion and lsd kit.

Unfortunately explaining that to the diff specialist who thinks reusing bearings is blasphemy and anyone who does is a backyarder has been challenging...

I am slowly piecing the parts together but like I said before i just wished I had this knowledge before the car was in peices.
