Dear Curious,
One of the nice things about the Spitfire hobby is that (good used) parts
are readily available because so many were produced. You should be able
to line up another used diffy for a lot less than the price of a rebuild
(if you buy a car that needs one). YMMV of course...
As noted in this forum in the past, a Datsun 510 diff can be adapted to the
Spit but no one has mentioned the costs involved.
