rocksteady Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hi all, I have a couple of lsd's that I would like to identify. The only markings on them that I can see are RB RER B RBB FRT B I get the front and rear bit, but who made them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyninety Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I've just spent a few minutes googling different diffs, I don't think it looks like a McNamara, KAM, Ashcroft, Maxidrive, Quaife I'm as stumped as you are! Im sure Nige will know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksteady Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I have had a couple of people say KAM, but as you say, after a google I can't find one to match! Hopefully there will be a grown up along soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Nope no Idea ... Absolutely Not KAM ! Cross pin look odly positioned in there tho Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Metric casing Not sure of ratio, from what I can just see of pinion might be 4.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksteady Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Ratio is standard 4.7. So, not KAM and not ashcroft. well, at least we are narrowing it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Could the RB prefix be for Reynolds Boughton ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyninety Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Is there a problem with them and you need spares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksteady Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 No, they came with a deal I did. The man I got them from said that they had been set up for racing. I put them in my RRC for about 500 miles and did not get on with them. A lot of clanking. Worked well off road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Wasn't there an LSD made by Torsen a couple of decades ago ? iirc based on worm gears that would rotate under minimal speed differential and locked when the speed differential increases cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocksteady Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Now that makes sense, I Know the man spent a bob or two. I got an unused je engine off him. I cannot tell 100% from the pic, but very close. Heck those are spendy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
