Dear All,
       I have a problem (well one I would like to share anyway). I break
differentials through too much power. I have a 3.89 diff which I think is
the same one as found in a GT6, Triumph Vitesse or a Spitfire mk.V. 
Is there a stronger one available maitaining the casing and 3.89 ratio ?
I suspect not but I thought I'd ask anyway. I`m told the 3.89 version for
the spitfire is stromger than the GT6 version as it has a stronger crown
wheel but again this may be folklore.

 The engine shows ~ 150 bhp on the rolling road.
