12 bolt rear-end diff question.
I have a 79 12 bolt rear diff with some sort of traction device in it (which doesn't work), I believe it's factory "gov-loc" limited slip. Haven't had the lid off in years, but I wonder if anyone knows If I can insert a MINI-SPOOL inside the Gov-Loc, or diff carrier at all?

You could weld the spiders but I'd be careful. What sized tires are you running? Lot of HP? I wouldn't start dumping money into the 12 bolt. Search around and see what is available for upgrades within your budget.

Buying a red star will help in the searching and help the site.

Thanks you guys. I am of the mind to not spend lotsa bucks into either the front nor rear axle. Right now my sits at around 4000 lbs & I plan on keeping it as light as possible. I have also switched to a very narrow rim to work with narrow tires. Currently running 34x9.5 ss.narrow super swampers. may go taller (35.5"x10.5").
