Doing a locked diff for one burnout is alot of effort.

Having said that, get a decent mig and some 4-5mm steel plate, measure up in between sungears, cut to shape a little rectangular type bit, drop it in and weld it in all the way round. Do this on both sides and you wont break and welds only axles.
