Locking Differentials vs continuous auto torque biasing
Locking Differentials vs continuous auto torque biasing
(OP)
Reference thread78-65869
I am experiencing inside rear wheel spin during hard cornering on a 1970 English Ford Escort in vintage racing.
I used to race a Lotus Cortina which used a plate type Salisbury limited slip, and it served quite well. The current Escort has a Quaife automatic torque biasing limited slip, which becomes totally ineffective if the inside rear is not in contact with the ground. I'd like to contact Rod "EVELROD" regarding his 4.44 LoCort diff on the shelf. Don, (817) 925-3904.

Oh yes, I rather like the Detroit Locker, but I am, as usual, a majority of one! I use a Tran-X clutch type on my Mini and it seems ok, at least at 110 wheel hp.

Thanks for the response. Sorry to hear the 4.44:1 DL won't be available, but glad to hear a Lotus Cortina rising to the fight again. Please Google or Yahoo "ex-factory Lotus Cortina" to see my prior racer. I'm active in CVAR, from Arlington, TX. With over 200 hp available from my Escort's Cosworth BDA, I've got to get wheelspin under control better. Regards, Don.

With any luck we should have the Locor race ready again by Summers end. Then the fun begins. (I raced it at TWS in 1972 and it might be fun to bring it back there again.)

I know Tom Davies well, he was at the CVAR races at MotorSport Ranch at Cresson, TX this last weekend, as was I. It was the first outing of my 1970 Ford Escort RS1600 B Sedan. I'd really like to discuss with you, please call my cell sometime at your convenience.
Regards,
Don
