I had a Quaiffe ATB in the Cortina axle of my old Zetec Super 6 and found it superb. Great for lighting up both rear tyres and driving like a hooligan (on private roads officer). Well recommended from this end anyway.

I used and abused mine for 6 years with 170-odd bhp and a decent amount more torque than an R1, with never a single issue. Think you will be safe with that one anyway.

It took me about 2 hours to swap the diffs over with the axle in the car so not such a bad job either (so long as you can find the threadlock!! Still remember hunting for half an hour and thats about 8 years ago!!)

ATB diff

Hi Iused an ATB in a grass track Vauxhall powered Mini for 6 yrs , and i broke about 5 gearboxes and swapped the diff over every time with no issues at all then sold it on to someone with a rally car and got 3/4 of the cos back .
Quaife told me that i would never brake it bring it back when i wore it out .
So there you go you cannot brake them.
Regards BILL
