So, I have found one vendor for Salisbury for TRs -- that is Revington in
england for 685 pounds plus shipping.
http://www.revingtontr.com/shop/mainframe.asp?http://www.revingtontr.com/shop/Collection_Display.asp?a=2&mscssid=5DKFKERXB9D09L3CQXKQABXF39LJA20A&SiteLanguage=eng&CarType=TR6&PageType=default&CollectionId=%400000000107&CollName=LIMITED+SLIP+DIFFS
Does anyone have any other source?
Thanks,
Chuck [with a welded diff and hates it]
