Hi all, I'm new here. Just joined. I've just bought a low miles 2014 507 Edition. It doesn't have the 471 LSD, so its a must for me to bolt on either a Quaife or a Wavetrac. Im leaning toward the Wavetrac because of the slightly improved characteristics. Its 2 horse race between these 2 as i don't want to go down the clutch plate route as they are not maintenance free. I know this as my father owned Gripper Diffs, so id have one of those otherwise. My question on the Wavetrac is about fitment. I read some owners need to have the diff housing shaved or fettled to fit the new diff inside. Is this correct? Is it minor I'm guessing? I suspect if so its a question of just grinding away a little cast material somewhere? Can anyone advise on this - also if its an issue on earlier cars or all. My car is 64 plate. Thanks.

Also when replacing the diff, what other parts should I change out (that doesnt come with the diff). Oil seals? Can anyone send a link where to get them at decent price? What sealant should be used on the housing when re-building? What fluid/oil to use?
Thanks. Will be asking more question son other matters also.
