Def do it with a plate... and a proper strong welder. Will be no hassle then.
Its the half arsed jobs that give them a bad name (oh, and the people who can't drive with a locked diff obviously, lol).

I had one in my old saph for 2 years. indestructible. great fun for arse out. and peanuts to do.

but crap when turning in tight spaces, parking etc.

and i found it difficult to donut in small spaces with it. maybe i needed more practice but was great for general drifting around.

Oh and it made the car rubbish at taking fast corners without being twitchy but what do you expect.

Also TIG is the way to do it. Mig can leave lots of bits and takes ages to clean them out.
Ran my 7 1/2" welder for 7 years now and still going.

They're great on the road. I've done silly speeds on track too 100% gripping with them. Never seen any problem. Not even that bad when manoeuvring, just some skipping, but looks cool as fuck!
Remember the likes of the RS500 BTCC cars sometimes ran locked diffs, never did them any harm!
