Budget LSD for a 2L escort

Gday all,
          Just after some opinions and advice on what is a good budget LSD as a straight swap for the standard 2L escort diff centre. There are a few options out there but some are more expensive than others and may be overkill for a standard duty streetcar as this car will never see a racetrack! . Also some may be more tractable for everyday driving.
  Cheers for any advice

    There are no real cheap options.  The easiest is a TRAN-X plate type or Quaife ATB because they bolt straight into a standard centre but both will cost you around $1000.

    Make it go FASTER!

    If it's definitely only for the road then go for the Quaiffe ATB. Quiet, maintenance free and regular diff oil. If you think you may see track  use, even motorkhanas or hillclimbs & track days go the plate type eg tran-x, 3J plate type or Ford motorsport type Salisbury. All these require LSD oil.  Not much difference in prices and then you've got to figure in proper assembly.
