The bolt kit replaces the rivets, that hold the ring gear to the
differential.

The bolt kit ensures that you won't have any broken rivets flying around.

Yes, it makes it more durable...

The only alternative to the Quaife, that I know of, is the Peloquin
limited slip kit, which requires an '84 and up 020 and 100mm axles.

I have the 80% kit in my 4K on the '79, and it will spin both tires if I
pop the clutch, but you have to try to get them to spin.
I don't have any wheel spin, with normal spirited driving, and it cuts
down on torque steer also.
