WTF?!

As title really.

Quaife did make one, the QDF30Z, but it's not available anymore.

Do any other companies make em? Or anyone seen one for sale?

I know they were used on a lot of GrpA Aussie Touring Car RS500s, but they would've been 9" so irrelevant, but IIRC works 4x4 Saffs ran a spool rear and expect other race n rally Cossies did too, so maybe, just maybe, there some 7.5" spools available?

There certainly are 7.5" ones for various American Fords, but I don't think they're interchangeable.

Any info/advice much appreciated.

Cheers.

Aren't spool diffs permantley locked i.e. just a bar connecting the two diff stub shafts?
In which case you might as well just weld up an open 7.5" Diff.

WTF?!

They are, and that is what I was going to do if can't get a spool.

But a spool is far lighter (and is unsprung, and rotating, mass, so as weight saving goes it's a good place to do it), and is pretty impossible to break (and I've killed a few welders in my time), so it would be great if could get one for a good price.

Spools for the US 7.5" diffs found in various fords are cheap and common, but I expect they're not the same as they're for the live axles in the back of Rangers and some Mustangs etc etc.
