[Fot] GT6 limited slip availability

[Tim Pettenati]

I think it has a lot to do with horsepower, weight, balance, and wide sticky
tires.
 
In an 1147 Spitfire with hard compound vintage tires, a Detroit
locker is not abrupt or savage.

Here's how I'd
describe it:
My GT6 has a welded rear - its behavior is consistent throughout
the turn
(like it or not!). Get on the gas early and it's predictable, but not
great
for low speed turns.
the TR4 I bought last year has a detroit locker -
every time it engaged during
the turn i certainly noticed the trajectory
changed.  I would describe it as
an on-off switch.  I only have one weekend in
that car - not enough to judge
yet.  Certainly easier to push around the
paddock than a welded rear!

one of our
local Triumph club members has an oriignal detroit locker in his
race GT6 and
he's looking to move back to something less savage, possibly a
torsen/helical
type or even a clutch plate type.  is there any other diff
centre that can be
modifed to  fit these housings or does anyone want a
swap??

thanks
Terry
