Hi,

The LSD seems a very rare and expensive beast over there with you lot. The flip side of having had to have to put up with 1970's asthmatic rusting Vauxhalls in the uk is that such rare parts are at least possible to come by. The 052 axle mentions appears from time to time on ebay. I have read that mk1 Cavaliars (Viva/Firenza based) had LSD's as an option. I'm told you can modify an axle from a Isuzu Piazza (a what??) which had a floor pan and running gear heavily based on the Opel Kadette/Vauxhall Chevette - I have seen pictures and it looks very similar. When all said and done I think getting one custom made is the most practical solution - unless you want change the axle which brings up the question of originality, etc.

Cheers

Jon
