That's for clutch type LSD.

Finished the shift boot, HMT style. Pics will be up tomorrow, but for a hint, I got the parts at Menards.

what did you do for traction bars? i've been throwing around ideas for making them, but it seems like everyone just buys bars.

ah ok, you defenatly have done your research. the new ones are actually allot easier to deal with! last couple Ive taking apart didn't have any issues with screws being stripped, or the washers being installed wrong like the old ones. also the the casting are alot more cleaner then the old ones!
