[DGmk3]

Don't wanna hear (just get an lsd idiot!!) cause I have one I just tried doing some research and could'nt come up with anything anybody that knows where I can find one that'd be sweet that'd be sweet

I believe jawsgear does.

We do have a couple of prototypes we have been running. We will release them for sale in the next few months. We are getting ready to move into a larger shop so most projects have been put on hold for a while.

[SupraJDS]

what is a Spool??

 

[MDCmotorsports]

Not turbo spool... you can't buy spool in a bag lol.

Spool as in what the ring gear attaches to in the rear end.

Can't you weld them together?

 

[jmanbball]

^^ Just take an open rear end and weld up the spider gears

And here I am, praying that the welds are good and don't break as I am doing 100+ mph down the track. LOL

well if u welded the spiders together at the 4 spots on each side, then welded the gears to the case. id think ud be pretty safe. just turn the heat up on the welder so it really melts the cast iron together.

the problem isn't the weld, it's the cast iron that would break.

That is correct. It is not a good idea to weld cast iron. Welds will tend to break, besides most people have a LSD in their car, why ruin a good LSD?

whats the advantage of a spool?

 

[SnowMongoose]

Same as welded rear end, just that you can 'unlock' it.

I don't think you can doesn't it completelty replace the differential??

yes, the ring gear bolts to it and it directly splines to the axels, its a solid piece of steel or aluminum, no way to unlock it. exactaly like welded spiders but its 1 piece and designed to take abuse.
