Default broken 2wd diff

Hello, can someone please help me with diff problems on our 2wd Saffy, we have just completed the engine and car, put it on the dyno (182 Kw / 288 Nm) then ran off to the drag strip only to bust the diff on the first run, both planet gears snapped in half and one sun gear lost a tooth. What I notice is a lot of pitting on the sun gear teeth and it looks as though the sun gear initiated the failure, but every thing else is fine.
My question is this a common problem on this lsd ?.
Where can I find replacement planet and sun gears?
Where can I find re assembly instructions, I have one of the CD manuals but it only gives detail for the front diff on a 4x4 but nothing on the rear diff other than how to take It out.
Thanks
