Title: 105 LSD
Post by: Craig_m67 on April 04, 2012, 07:31:00 PM
What's the going rate in Aust. for a second hand 105 LSD (thick or thin half shafts) ??

I could go the Alfaholics route and use my pinon and crown or grab an 2nd hand original. I'd have either serviced/rebuilt.  I can value an original OS easily enough but no have idea here.  I don't particularly want to ring around and bug vendors just yet as I'm months/years away from doing anything other than body work..

Cheers
Craig

I'll open the bidding $1,500 if you can find one.

Craig, I've got a complete LSD 4:1 that I'll let go of as I've now got a 4:3 - I'll pm you.

Pancho have you still got that 4:1 LSD and would it suit a 1750GT (I think it needs axle modification if its off a 2 litre?).

Hey guys,

I just remembered that it's from a 2 litre Auto - so it's an LSD unit - but not a 4:1 LSD. The C&P is a different ratio. You can still use your own C&P in this housing though to make it an LSD. I was going to go down this route as it would be a 4.56 LSD (zippy!) but I found a 4:3 instead. Still available, if it doesn't sell I'll just keep the shafts etc as spares. If interested PM me and we can go over details.

anybody know a Brisbane based specialist who will not baulk at the idea of setting this up?

Did you get the tube with the hat? Or just what is in the pic?

My current diff is not original to the Duetto (it's from a 2L).
Plan is to use this pumpkin and LSD with my axle/diff (crown, pinion, shafts etc).  
Shaft and splines should be correct as best as I have researched - opening it up will tell obviously.  
If it doesn't work, i'm not that much out of pocket (<A$350./all up). I'm playing :)

I only opened the box this morning.  Pumpkin and LSD only, no crown/pinion/bearing/etc.
No idea of the condition, although the oil smells like catswiss!! (is that normal?)
