As discussed in this recent thread,

there is some interest in a group or consortium purchase of the Kaaz Limited Slip Differential to fit the Alfa 164 transmission.
Product description here:

The suppliers have been contacted and would provide a discount for bulk purchases. The actual price would depend on how many items are purchased, expected to be as follows:
1 to 3: £834.10
4 to 7: £787.10
8+: £751.85
These prices include UK delivery and VAT.
Ay consortium purchase would require payment up front to an agreed timescale, through a trusted individual handling the transaction. This process has been used successfully before to purchase new alloy wheels for the Stratos. If there is enough interest, a similar process could be used to buy these LSD units.
Please use this poll to indicate if you would be interested in purchasing a limited slip diff in this manner (presumably for payment in January, with - unfortunately, a five week delay in supply of the diffs).
Do also note that there are other limited slip diff products that can be used in the Alfa transaxle for the Stratos replicas.
Of these, 'Gripper' diffs have been used successully, and are a known item, in the replicas. Quaife ATB diff units also have a good reputation, but needed a minimum order of 10 units. This means that club members have not had experience of this unit in the kits. I'm sure all three work just fine.
The poll allows you to indicate if you would want one of these other diff types, on the assumption that prices would be roughly similar.
Replying to this poll does not commit you (or a consortium) to any purchase. It is just to gather information as to demand for LSD units right now...
