Here's the "Reader's Digest Condensed version" as best as I can remember (no guarantees of accuracy):
The axle came from the Vauxhall Viva and its sportier variant, the Firenza. None came with LSD as an option. Vauxhall's competition department made a very small number of units for factory-backed teams but nobody has ever seen one. (I would assume they were Salisbury type but who knows?)
Racers often weld them up and just live the hassle of a spool.
There have been a couple of JH's customized with other axles.
Once upon a time Dave Bean was taking deposits to have Quaife make some ATB diffs. As I understand it Quaife didn't get around to it back then and DBE eventually dropped it and refunded deposits.
Recently one of our clubbers started the Quaife idea up again and a bunch of us showed interest. This activity ran out of steam at some point.
I've been thinking of taking up the cause again myself but for me it's on a back burner right now.
PC.
