lucky bugger! $400 is a pretty good price ;)

Just out of interest, did you have issue with differences in the Watts linkage, or (question now redirected towards others) was this an XR8 thing only?

This I didn't know; the Ford.com.au site has verified this. LSD is optional. In fairness, traction control is standard on the XR6 which does a much better job under normal conditions anyway.

It's not like the BA XR6 are anything special, I mean mechanicallyu there as advanced as an XT/Futura, which in my opinion is disapointing, as the XR6 was always a cool car, sportier looking and better performing Futura in the past. Should of given the new XR6's something to put them ahead - besides awsome looks!

True, did research and found that LSD was option on EL also BA XR6's. Checked all out before buying and was legit LSD. Did not have any probs with Watts link. Was basically a straight swap.
If the *** end falls out I'll let you know!!!!

EFII Fairmonts have 3.23 ratio but no LSD. The Ghias got 3.45 and LSD !

The LSD centre will fit your diff OK its got nothin to do wit the the number of teeth on the crownwheel.
