Quaife for the MC is listed at $1170 at Helix (slightly cheaper than the Quaife for the MCS).
Not sure if it's for the earlier Midlands or the later Getrag MC transmission though.

I know I heard somewhere, that the Quaife LSDs are not compatible with Midlands.

A while ago, there was listed one for the Cooper , seems they ended it's production. I would really invest in a LSD, but i am afraid it is not a good idea to invest on a Midland...

About how much did you get the 6spd for? I'm curious about the cost of this. It seems like it would be hard to source one.
