I picked up a torsen A a few years ago in a gearbox for £40, it went for nothing when someone helped themselves to it!

I bought my flywheel bolts from QED, weren't that expensive. Clutch assemblies from these people http://www.clutch-specialists.co.uk/

I bought a T16 kit, used a low mileage 180 pressure plate as that kit was cheaper for a T16, same clutch plate and bearing.

Thanks for all the info... clutch is now ordered... just waiting for someone to sell me a lsd... ;)

Ok. How do I get a gearbox to you?

If its just the LSD he's after (the box will have different ratios I think) then it might be cheaper and easier to remove the LSD from the box and post it that way? (the LSD is much smaller than the whole box!)

Just a suggestion :)

It will as the BRM is only a 143bhp VVC, also I think the casing is different.

It does have a different case but I dont have time to strip it.

So will this LSD not fit my 180?

Yes, most deffo :)

You just need to take it out of the BRM box and replace the standard diff in your 180 box with this one...

While you have the box off I recommend cleaning and greasing the clutch actuating arm though!
