Hey All
This is the 1st individual that has requested a MKII differential from me. (Not for sale)
I just wanted to share the condition of this MKII diff, as its one of the lowest mileage / cleanest I have ever come across.
Even as received it was super clean, thought it was worth showing.
I can't say I have seen many diff's with ~30k miles. This has to be some sort of anomaly!
Even the rear aluminum cover is in its original die cast finish. (no sandblasting needed)
I swapped gear ratios for this one to 4.10. (Had 4.30)
Upgraded the LSD with the Weir kit.
Also switched to the solid pinion spacer.
Pretty much the same upgrades I usually do for the MKIII's.
Also took some comparison measurements side by side with the MKIII, just for curiosity sake.
Side shafts/LSD Plates/LSD Construction ect..
Its interesting to see some of the same design attributes that were carried over to the MKIII from the MKII.
Also pretty clear the vast improvements and weaknesses that were corrected with the MKIII.
The MKIV is a whole different level beyond this, but will get to that at some point.

Check out the factory machining marks still on that side gear!
Comparison of the LSD plate stack to the MKIII.
