practicle, no they arnt
id rather weldies because they atleast offer some sort of give on the axles
just wanna know the difference between a mini and a full spool and weather they are practical or not.
i like the idea of these more than a welded diff because its less dodgey.
where are these available from or how much would they cost to get made for an e or f series diff?

it does the same thing as a weldy :blink:
biggo, why would you say that a weldy would have more give than a spool? :wacko:
a minispool replaces the spider gears inside the diff with a solid piece of steel with splines in it for the axles
a full spool replaces the whole centre, bolt your crownwheel on & slide axles in
if you are breaking axles with a weldy you will break axles with a minispool or spool
theyre mainly for diffs that arent easy to weld or break spider gears

biggo..whatchoo on about willis, both are bad for axels
both are illegal, and both are a nuissence to drive.
they are essentially the same as a welded diff, cept you don't weld, you just replace the whole centre with a new one, that is already "locked"
i would probably buy one over a welded diff, since then you don't have to worry about dodgy welding/welds snapping.
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.

and you don't have to worry about little weld balls going into your bearings and munching them
and you can take the spool out and replace with LSD if youre that way inclined
with welding once its welded its always welded, destroyed
where do you get minispools for S and T series? anyone know?
I have found full spools for T series diff from time to time, both steel or aluminium. Some place in USA makes them, as a T series diff is used for those funny little cart/car things. (Like Aussie Legends, but in USA) A full spool is desirable over a normal welded diff or a mini spool because it is lighter.
But in a full size car, the T series axles snap too often. So for a normal car with a T series, a 2-way LSD is the way to go. All the benifits of a locker, but nicer to drive and no snapped axles.
Ah but $$$ lol
if i wanted to spend $$$ i would have a JZX100
mini full and weldys are all exactely the same to drive with because they are all 100% locked
minispool slots inside stock centre reaplcing spiders and carrier
full spool replaces the whole centre, you bolt your crown to it and away you go
hmm now i thought i said that before?
