It would be interesting to see how much power they can handle before something else breaks. Still have a small pinion, yoke, unis and factory housing.

The factory housing is one of the weakest points in the bango, allowing the centre to walk around, would be a good set up in a uc diff.

Expensive, I 've rung up B4 but was way out of my price range and it blows Welbys original low cost idea out of the water. Thats why I've decided to go a VN V8 LSD Diff.

oh wow. theres definitely a market but the sad part is for that price they only appeal to group NC racers who require originality.

for anyone else a nine inch is far more cost effective.

Finally some results

The centre will retail for 960 oz dollars.
The centre will be supplied to suit standard fine spline axles, giving you the option of using your own or buying billet.

Thoughts and comments ?

You are getting a major name brand helical gear centre, bolt in replacement for the factory centre. Full parts availability and warranty.( brand announced soon, but you'll like it)

Suit the 3.36 3.55 CW & P ratio's

Use your own fine spline axles or get some billets made to suit your own stud pattern.

Just to be clear Jacob, this is the first time i've announced price.

The prices mentioned in the thread above are for somebody else's product.

Jacob, mine is a replacement Limited Slip Diff carrier ( or hemisphere ), brand new manufacture, to suit standard fine spline axles. You can use factory fine spline or buy billet for extra strength or different stud pattern.

The other guys is a remanufactured complete centre, Detroit Locker with other modifications for the harsher conditions of racing.

G'day Wayne.

These will be here late November.

So it's a new LSD centre, will it also be available for 28 spline axles or just 23 spline?

Yeah how about 28 spline Welby? How much are billet axles to suit?

Cheers Trent

I've asked for 23 spline at the moment, so it will suit the majority of the market who already have fine spline axles.

28 spline shouldn't be a drama

I urgently need a factory fine spline axle, for final confirmation of the spline. Any one?

even a broken half would do.
