Well I don't want to do number two, and number one costs $1200 for just the
used part. I had no idea they would be that expensive. I see that quaife
makes a differential for type 1, so they may be inclined to make a type 2
differential. I was reading their description and it sounded like their
differential allowed no slip at all. As though no wheel would spin as long
as one had traction. Is this correct? Or would it act exactly the same as
the ZF which I can actually obtain? Either way I will have to wait a while
till the Van is paid off before I can go spend $1500 on upgrading the
tranny.

Thanks for the info,
