Except for about eighteen months in the mid-1970s, my TR3 has been a RACE CAR all its life. I have logged about one hundred and seventy-five events myself. The car came with a Detroit Locker and a 4

I ran a locker in The White Car, a solid axle TR4A autocrosser. The Killer Spit has a Quaiffe. Wish I had experience with the different types in the same car. The locker makes a lot of noise at times

If the car is set up properly, it reportedly allows true differential action to wheels, with power going to the outside wheel at a slightly faster rate than the inside wheel. If it is not driven wel

I have a couple of comments on the rear locker situation. First off, the competition department paid for the tooling to make the lockers for all the Triumph cars. I know cause I had to find the money

On a Triumph with current vintage race tires like Hoosiers, expect the following: 1. Locked (welded) rear end -- understeer on power, oversteer off power, hard to push around in the pits and garage 2

I run a TR4A solid axel and I have a Salisbury and 2 welded, which is quicker? I don't know, lap times appear to be the same. Welded is cheaper thanks to Chuck Gee and alot harder to push in the pits
