I believe diffs are directional and can't be used in the opposite direction (other than reversing the car) without the contact points on the
cogs needing realigned through shimming. Basically the back of the cogs teeth will be overlapping the other cogs teeth at the wrong location i.e. the
edge rather than the center and so will wear badly.

I think that the Quaife has to be mounted a particular way as the bearings are different on each end. I think it is mounted with the reverse lever to
the passenger side but i'm not 100% sure on that.
I'm sure someone will be along to confirm.

Trying to think from memory, but I believe ^^^ is correct, lever is on the passenger side. I don't think you would want to reverse the direction
of the Quaiffe anyway, the unit is horrible going in reverse definitely smoother going forward. Or maybe that is just mine.
Today is a good day: I achieved new heights of ineptitude.

Correct! If I remember correctly the unit has two bearing on the shaft pointing backwards (if mounted like in the picture) and one on the shaft
pointing forward.
