Dave, click on my home page link below my signature and download the Service manual. It's got all the good stuff about how to rip everything apart.

Here's another LSD type option that might be able to be adapted to suit:

Good Luck finding a mini-spool that will fit !! If they don't make Lockers then there is no chance they will do a Spool or mini-spool off the shelf.
By Welding up the Diff Centre you are making a Mini-Spool.
Go to a Diff Specialist - DON'T try & weld it without dis-assembling the Diff if you want to do it properly. The ones that just pull off the front cover & splatter a bit of weld between the side / spider gears are the same people who have a bit of weld break off which then usually takes a nice little trip thru your R&P gears before settling in the bottom of the diff - along with a few of the teeth off your ring gear
The Diff Specialist will uninstall the Diff Centre & remove the Side Gears. These are then ground down to create a flat edge on each side. A solid piece of steel plate is then cut to fit between the flats on the Side Gears - & the whole lot is welded solid as one piece. If done properly there is nothing dodgy about it
Just as strong as a mini-spool - less moving parts than a standard diff - & completely locked
What more could you ask for ?
Just get it welded & be done with it......

Ok
Firstly, Murcod that manual is big, huge,massive even!
Secondly, Your right there are no mini spools availiable, it was only a long shot.
Thirdly, Looks like welding is the way to go. I was aware that you have to actually take the diff centre out. I had a mate that did one with the diff centre still in the car and earthed it through the diff body. His diff bearings were part of the circuit and there was a little bit of "weld" on each ball within the race. lets just say the diff didn't last too long. I was thinking bout ripping it out and welding pegs between the gears. Would that work.
Ah i'll just add it to the list of things that need doing!

Weld it, build upper body strength, watch those CV's
