Hmm, lots of Triumph/GT6 diff possibilities!

Half-off at P&P for the holiday weekend.

Got a chance to look around at a few cars they have.

Lexus LS400 diff looks almost like it was made for exchanging into a Triumph except that it has an odd guibo type joint on the input.
Appears to be an open diff.

Porsche 944 trans-axle can be had for under $100.
Interesting, but a lot of work to make it fit and deal with the torque tube.

61 Pontiac Tempest rear complete, another interesting engineering exercise.
Flexible drive-shaft (Really!) and an American made trans-axle intended for a front mounted engine.

Nissan 300 ZX diff, appears to also not be a posi but not too hard to make work.

'96 Ford T-Bird, diff is not as large as I feared.

CL ad has a Supra posi diff for $200.00
Not sure of the ratio or miles.

Found five Merkur's in semi-local P&P yards!
Rear is very similar to T-bird but a bit lighter.
Also found an Escort GT twin cam locally. Not sure if the disc brakes can be adapted to the Merkur hubs?

One P&P also has a '65 Midget I might want pieces from.

So I have until monday to decide what to use for my GT6/Buick V6 and T5.

Got a Merkur complete manual  trans rear today.
If P&P were not selling at half price I would have left it there and bought the local Supra rear instead.
P&P jacked the price up by ignoring their published "Car rear end, drum to drum" and charged me piece meal for each component rather than the assembly.
So my $75.00 rear was nearly $200.00.

P & P car rear end drum to drum only applies to solid rear axles unfortunately
