I have done this. Not an back yard mech. thing. To much
machining and AL welding.  Does not work as well as a
true limited slip dif. would. I have not seen a limited
slip dif. for the Vanagon. Just a locker by a co
called Weld somthing...Or to that effect. A syncro with a
true limited slip dif. is the way to go. The dif. must be
setup for the Vanagon weight underwise they don't work
anybetter than a standard axle. E-mail me If you are truely
interested in more.
