GKN to BTR conversion .

[SILICONEKID346HP]

I`m wondering if buying a new one would be better value ,after having mine reconditioned with second hand parts there is not going to be a big difference in the price

what has been damaged on yours ?

LSD shot and maybe the crown and pinion and number of other tired parts .

Why do you have a good GKN in your garage ?

would be nice to have it´s more like waiting for mine to fail....

have also thought about a BTR conversion if it fails as currently in the car is a 3.77 gkn.

What year is your car ? I`m not sure if mine is 3.77:1 or 3.31:1.

What`s the easiest way to find out .

I still got a fully working Gkn, let's see if it will take Ls power

Have you checked if the LSD is in operation ?

Unless the ebay add posted by Daz is the Central TVR ebay shop I'd give Adrian a call as he has recently taken delivery of a load of the original BTR 3.45:1 diffs.

The Ebay seller is Central , £750 is a bit on the heavy side , i wonder what the condition of the internals are like sitting in a hot humid country for years .

Folks already mentioned Central stock & yes superficially it looks good condition when i viewed recently

Andy (their technician) was telling me it would be possible to retro fit later BTR diffs esp as orig GKN no longer made/stocked - change to mounting brackets

Iv`e not seen any brackets for sale ,been making phone calls ,I wish someone would sell them off the shelf .
