I was well chuffed when I spotted these at the tatton park classic show, last weekend.
I just need to figure out how to fit them to the front valance now.

Different Differential makes all the difference.
Well I spent most of the day changing my whiney diff with the help of Chris Fish.
I have to say the result has transformed the car, no more whine when I drive and we took the opportunity to change the lowering block from 3/4 inch to an inch to help with the camber, which was slightly positive.
Getting the diff off was not too bad once we had collectively strained and groaned at just how tight the half shaft bolts were. Once off we swapped the backs of the diff so I was able to maintain the 6 hole casing on the new diff, as I have a fixed spring.
Putting it back on was the fun heavy bit, but after some persuasion with a rubber mallet and a jack the diff was back in place. We bolted everything back up and filled up with oil. Happily it didn't run straight back out again.
The result is a much quieter car, well at least for the occupants, with pretty much neutral camber.
