Salisbury Diff

[kman]

I often see posts referring to the Salisbury diff which seems to be a desirable option. Can someone please tell me why? And how do I identify one/tell if my s2a has one?

Thanks, Howard

The Salisbury diff is a Dana 60 made under licence in the UK.

The easy was to tell a Salisbury is to look at the back and if there is a bolt on plate it is Salisbury.  The standard diff on a SIIa is Rover and looks the same as the front diff  with the bolts on the pinion side around the banjo.

The Salisbury was only factory fitted to the SIIa in Suffix H as production transitioned to SIII.  Most Salis on SIIa have been retrofitted after production.
