After the flop with the CWP from a big european dealer for vintage parts, I bought a differential at ebay.
The hardest part was carrying this fat baby into the basement. With brakes and rotors it has my weight [xx(]
Opening it looks quite promissing. The wheels are wet
and have the same size as my old wheels
Inspecting the new CWP it seems that this differential was overhauled and after that only some miles used. The wheels had still the paste you used to positioning the correct end. The brake rotors from Brembo have no signs of use.
So, it will end up with a 3.07:1 ratio. The problem with my old CWP was corrosion at the pinion
Now, I have a nearly complete differential, rear brakes, new rear rotors, an overhauled Jaguar 4 speed transmission (was installed in the Aceca). I think this a half cat. Where do I get the other half [:I]

I had to plane some areas:
