Subtle:
I've installed a 4:56 LSD rear axle ***'y (rebuilt and modified to fit by Jack Beck, Orion Motorsports) from a 1974 2L donor Spider. Had to salvage the coil spring mounts from my original axle, got the reaction triangle and other hardware from Dan Zebel -- who used to supply this in kit form to Centerlinie. Also reinforced the trailing arm brackets for lateral loads--in stock form, they're a weak link in the system. Haven't run the car yet -- still working on the conversion (1750 into my 1963 101 Spider), but am optimistic this will be a good upgrade. Unlike you, I chose to go with disc brakes all the way around--for simplicities and $$$ sake, but loved the old drums. Don't have current contact information for Dan Zebel, unfortunately.
