 I am setting out to test my viscous couplings. I have a pile of front
 differentials here (6) and I am trying to devise a test whereby you jam one
 of the axels attachment points on the diff so it won't move and then you
 stick a torque wrench on the other axel attachment point and then you turn
 the end of the diff with a wrench at various speeds and see how much torque
 is created.

 Anyone else done this test? >>

Wait a second, you have 6 front syncro diffs complete.  Will you sell one of
them that is in great shape? Thanks, Michael
 87 syncro
 87 quattro
