I've decided to follow Henry Frye's advice and assemble my 
Southwick axle as soon as possible.  Apparently after Henry 
installed the Salisbury LSD in his Southwick modified axie he ran 
into the problem of axles being to short and had to get new longer 
axles from Southwick.  Since his application was a TR4 and mine is 
a TR3 I can't simply use the same length axles as Henry.

The axle I had converted was one I received from Joe(A) and it was 
just the bare housing with the bearing caps.  So I'm in the 
process or ordering new bearings and shims.  Since this is a "new" 
installation I needed to order these components .  I was able to 
get the bearings without any problem but most of the shims appear 
to be "discontinued" or "no longer sold".  

So, does anyone have any idea where I can come up with the various 
shims I'll need to get the diff set up properly?

Also, if anyone has a spare Pinion Spacer laying around I'd be 
happy to buy it.  

Thanks!
