as above..  can you convert a normal differential to LSD by swapping some internal parts ?

[2woody]

yes you can.

[cem_devecioglu]

yes you can.

thanks 2woody..    but which part (s) (sorry I ask for more detail)  ?

I am not sure what would be involved in this giving you are locking the wheels to rotate at the same speed (LSD)

When needed a non LSD will turn the inner wheel slower or free wheel it as it doesn't have to travel the same difference as the outer

What ever is involved I take its similar to the old blob of weld allowing equal distribution of power to both wheels, however having seen many cars with this and how rough the ride is it low speeds I wouldn't advise it

thanks for the info
 
I also dont prefer this welding method   people say it wont handle tight turns

[2woody]

basically, the crownwheel carrier is different for LSD.

it is possible to swap parts over, but even the bearings and seals needed once you have the LSD parts cost more than a decent Omega

[cem_devecioglu]

the cost is not a problem.. basically when I try to buy a big boxed second hand part the customs become the problem (tried that)..  for that reason I'm asking for parts.. +
 
and if I try to buy an unused differential (let alone an LSD) its costs (here) a fleet of omegas with UK price

[pauls]

Cem might sound silly but could you not buy one here and get somebody on oof to break it down and send it to you in bits. Then all you have to do is but it back together

thanks for your interest.. 
 
and that was my plan, if I could learn the parts

[JesperKjeldsen]

I have seen some omegas with bmw rear diff, for examble a bmw 325i E46 has lsd. to mount this you will need to have a special made propellerchaft (the one that connects the gearbox to the rear diff) and some special made drive schafts. in denmark this conversion can be made for around 2000kr + the price of a bmw rear diff..

its worth a thought. otherwise you need to find a old omega policecar with manual gearbox

great     thats the easiest way , lots of second hand lsd bmw diffs here.. I asked this to mechanics but they were not sure..

[2woody]

the BMW way could be the most cost-effective.

For Omega parts :-

£250 to buy a second-hand LSD of unknown quality here in the UK
£50 to get someone to strip it for you
£50 postage

and to rebuild at the other end

£180 for output bearings
£100 for a new set of diff plates
£150 to get it built up and clearances set, etc.

£780 as an estimate

agreed 2woody..     and it will be time consuming headache for friend members and pasing the parts from customs one by one is another problem   so I will prefer to buy from here directly.. in case of problem I can give it back to breakers

[serek]

I have few LSD here if you want , sure we can sort something out
EDIT: can post from UK or Poland

thanks for the offer Serek.. 
 
I'll first try to solve locally.. if I cant, I'll pm you
