Maxi drive lockers are the most superior lockers for land rovers, cannot even be compared to an arb locker!
KAM have a new LR locker also that doesn't need all the fab work to fit. Pat
Why would you swap a salisbury for a rover diff???Quote:

I actually swapped my P38 rear diff for a sals and put a maxi drive rear locker in 2 years ago. So you can get them.
If you change your diff to a rover diff, you will have to change rear prop shaft and I think the axles are different. I had to change my rear shaft and axles when I went to the sals.
So, what make a Maxi Drive locker supierer to an Ashcroft, interested in the reasons for your claim ?Quote:

Makes it within 5mm of a Rover diff.
You can take anything up to another 1" off a Sals if you want to get tricky.
You just wouldn't remove a functioning Sals and fit a Rover diff, it just defies logic.

You can get a Harrop-Eaton e-locker as well as the TJM Pro-Locker, which is based on the Jack Mc unit.
I agree Jack McNamara makes a good locker, just try getting one.Quote:

His service and customer focus is rubbish.
I waited 3 months for him to make a locker for me and he couldn't care less when I told him to forget it.
I'll never go back there.
Dave Ashcroft on the otherhand is the complete opposite.
He actually gives a damn, and your goods arrive within 5 working days from UK.
The problem is Rick everyone looses their heads on simple matters,if I broke my P38 diff for arguments sake why would I go to all the trouble of finding and fitting a sals when I can buy off the shelf an Ashcrofts P38 diff and axles that are simply plug and play remembering my vehicle is used for touring?.If I had a D1/RRC again why stuff around when Ashcroft rover centres with upgraded CW&P,pinned CW axles etc are bolt in?.Personally I find it hard to understand why people find the need to go completely overboard when better than 90% of people on this forum use thier vehicles as daily drivers,towing rigs or tourers in regards to upgrades,look at the locker thread,T/C combined with an ATB type centre is without doubt the best option based on price,effectiveness,ease of use and on outback roads you use them constantly but lockers which can't be reign suppreme,don't forget also many people are not interested in spending their weekends underneath their LR,I don't,I hate it and I've been a fitter for 25 years,I'd rather a bolt in fit and go travelling.I want to ask also,why did Telstra go the P38 over the sals in thier field service 130's?,a rover or P38 will break but they will still get you home.
