Well according to Quaife themselves (as I put in my post earlier) the max discount they give to anyone at the moment is 20% (even if they are spending
>£0.5m in a year), this may have been BS but I can't see that RD can sell it at more than a 20% discount from retail and still make a
profit.
As Quaife seem to keep increasing their prices if they have old stock they want to shift that they bought in for less I could be proven wrong...

Sorry to hear that philw.
It seems it is not a great time for this for a lot of people.
Maybe I'm being too optimistic.
Really need some more people to decide and respond - I've got to say the end of the month is probably the cut off.
If there aren't enough then it will be mothballed and I will probably just buy my own diff at full price  I just thought we could all benefit
this way...

i'm in - i just need someone to tell me if i need to have a LSD already or does this just fit into an open diff? and anyone know where i can
then get the diff rebuilt from? (yes,i'm a numpty and dont have a clue what i'm doing  )

sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

mads,
You can get ATB's that will fit into either but its less costly if its a diff with push in shafts. I currently have a 3.38 with push in shafts
so the QDF15Z will go in and I can use my old drive shafts.
If you have a diff with bolt on shafts then you need to get the more expensive version I mentioned above.
What do you have?
I have spoke to Phil at Road & Race transmissions who are just down the road from Quaife and he can fit them for around 90quid. If there are any
other issues with your diff that need sorting he can do his at the same time.
If the end of Jan comes along and we don't have the 15 we need for 20% I can probably still negotiate a smaller discount so please don't
be put off coming forward if you want one.
Hope this answers your questions.

Very quick update as i´m working.
Basically I´ve been offered a different option we a lot lower quantities but still good discounts.
I´ll post details later when I have more time.
But its still VERY important that I have a show of hands of those who are firmly interested.
