Today is a fantastic day, for I have just taken delivery of a set of front and rear Maxi-Drive diff locks for my dearly beloved.
A couple of weeks ago, I won an auction for a rear only MD locker on ebay, & the seller reneged on the deal at the last minute. A copy of the email from the seller is attached below.
Hi Andrew, I have been camping over the weekend and only got to a computer now. On Saturday I sold the diff to a friend of a friend for $1500, I told him it was on Ebay and if it went over $1500 then he lost out, I expected to get over $1700, I can not believe it only went to $1145, If you match the other guys $1500 you can have it otherwise the other guy wins. Sorry to spoil your day but I had no mobile reception or internet access.
If you are happy to pay $1500 I will take it to the freight depot and organise the delivery, That will be $1650 all up, still a bargain, you will never see a Maxidrive set up like this for less than $2k.
Let me know asap
Cheers

I was so dirty that a seller would have the gall to even try that sort of thing on. However, every cloud has a silver lining. I had a look through the AULRO driveline classifieds, & I found a front and rear set for $2500! Not only was it an unreal price, but the bloke has a newborn, & they needed the cash. This bloke couldn't do enough to help me out.
MR Automotive in Brisbane quoted me $2200 for the rear, in stock, & $2900 for the front, which is a 6 month wait. Getting a complete set for nearly half price is the ultimate dream run, & I cannot believe my luck. Time to get my finger from my bottom, & start putting the machine together.
