I can get a 450SL diff, with ratio 3.06, LSD.
This diff is a direct bolt-on to my early euro 1985 500SEC (same subframe),
which has a LSD 2.24.
However, the 3.06 does not have the ABS facility - my 500SEC does have the
ABS.
Can the internals from the 3.06 be transferred into the SEC diff housing
without major drama ? The 3.06 diff is the exactly the same externally and
will bolt straight-on to my 500SEC - but it's the ABS facility which is the
issue.
The other alternative is to take the 2.65 on my late 560SEC and simply
transfer that to my 500SEC and in the process fitting the later subframe on
the 500SC to make it a direct bolt-on. (The 2.65 on my euro 560SEC has been
replaced with a 2.82).
