Cyclops limited slip differential?

Has anyone ever heard of a way to make the rear end limited slip, or do I need to rig up some steering breaks on my 1541?

Steering brakes will be your only option...no limited-slip differential.

In my day we used to use a Lincoln locker, as there were no such thing as posi, limited slip etc.
It consisted of a couple of 7018 Lincoln welding rods,
We welded the spider gears, preventing them from turning.
Wasn't very practical for turning corners, but we were just concerned about going straight for 1/4 mile and that it did well.

George, I am all for welding up the spiders, but I just gotta know what your Cub's ET was......
