Don't mean to rain on your parade but this is not for a genuine Salisbury
LSD; it is for a Salisbury Type if you read the text. The sole supplier of
genuine Salisbury LSDs is Jon Wood of Classic Racecraft and it runs out at
735GBP + shipping via UPS at 85GBP; around $1500 at today's rates.

Cheers, Keith (Brit TR6 racer & US TR4 racer)

So, I have found one vendor for Salisbury for TRs -- that is Revington in
england for 685 pounds plus shipping.

LIMITED+SLIP+DIFFS

Does anyone have any other source?

Thanks,
