Can you still get a Detroit locker diff for the Spridget back axle  new?

And lastly, we are going to  get a 5spd to
match up to it and we are running a 4.2 rear diff locked  right now, but we
are going to change that to either a 3.9 or a different  4.2 with a limited
slip differential (also looking for advise which to go  with) I was told
Detroit sells one but not to go with  it..?

Hi Matt,
Not  sure   about  the  5 speed for vintage racing. The group you  raced
with  when  I  met  you is telling  me I can't even use a 1275 in my 62
Mark II! I'm still trying  to sort out the various rules, but one thing
is  sure,  I'm not racing a 948 again. Trannex is the limited slip that
you want for racing. Purchased one assembled with a 4.2 gear on ebay  a
few  weeks ago. I have two Detroit lockers also, but  I'm not expecting
too  much  from the 60's  technology. Here is an article explaining the
various  LSD's;
