Yes I have one, along with thickwall casing and Alumec strengthening plate. I can't comment on how it handles without, as it was one of the first things I did to the car when I bought it - I only went to the Ring once with the open diff and as that was way back in April 2002, so I can't remember what it was like without.
However, Lee's car understeers for England on the standard open diff.

With ATB the grip is there, but the car feels more like a big power FWD car when accelerating hard IMO, "squirrels" up the road and tends to point you in directions you weren't thinking of heading towards
BUT..........once loaded up with some lock on (mid bend) and on a steady throttle there is just some very mild understeer and very good grip. This is all on a road car with road tyres, R & B fast road geometry settings.

how does it manage to avoid getting hit by speed humps and the like by having the cover projecting anonther inch or so further down?
