On a Triumph with current vintage race tires like Hoosiers, expect the
following:
1. Locked (welded) rear end -- understeer on power, oversteer off power,
hard to push around in the pits and garage
2. Detroit locker - locks on and off -- and you can feel it and some say
that upsets the car, some says it doesn't -- I don't like it
3. Quaiffe -- the only current production limited slip that fits a
Triumph axle I think -- if you lift a wheel, it does not lock up like
the other two alternatives, which is disappointing to me -- therefore
you have to set up your car so you don't lift the inside wheel on
cornering. I have this and like it fine.
just my hmble observations....
