2800cs LS Diff Trouble

[K D]

G/Day everyone. Have owned my 2800cs for 22years. Took 13 years to restore. My LSD is worn out & is in need of parts. I read somewhere that the early 6 Series LSD would fit the Coupe. Is this true as I have a better chance of finding this than a Coupe LSD.

Unfortunately, most sideloader LSD's are at or past the end of their service life, so finding a really good replacement is becoming hard.

If you check Maximillian's site, it looks like a few of the rebuild components (clutch disks) are still available, but I have heard that ZF has discontinued stocking repair parts. Might be time to start doing some cross-referencing to other diffs to see if there are parts swap options.
