driveshafts/CV joints/diff

bear with me...in a bit of a quandary.. I have mx5 halfshafts & CV joints, I'm making adaptors to the 6 bolt output flanges on the 7" sierra diff.
If I stick a quaife ATB fiff in I can't fit the circlips that retain the diff output shafts and would therefore need to fit springs in the plunging CV joint to stop them popping out while driving. Is this on the cards at all? or should I just ditch the ATB idea, in which case is there an alternative LSD for the 7" diff where the circlips CAN be fitted?

You need to buy the output flanges from quaife as well they are different. Read on www.just-the-one.net.

interesting site - as he says it's bleeding obvious but I don't fancy shelling £200 on yet more flanges. Alternatives are make the ford flanges snap- in with a springy clip or alternative LSD?
