Series 2a hubs

[crazie]

Ok I am starting to pay attention what I have brought now. I was looking at the hubs on the front of the series 2a Landrover I am restoring. One side has, what I would consider a normal locking hub, similar to a MQ partol or hilux, but the other side has a bolt. Am i right in assuming the bolt locking hub is the original?? or is this a land rover thing (differnet locking hubs)?? Sorry, I have never seen one like it before.

Thanks for your help

A diff lock, really, very cool. I will try and get a picture posted. I have air lockers on my other diffs, that are not currently on the 4WD.

thank you

My thoughts exactly. Landies had some pretty weird diff locks in their early years.
I've got a pair of new S11a FWH going cheap if you want.

Is sounds like an early Jac Mac Manual Locker.

I'll go and try to find a pic of my old car.

They are common to a rear axle, but not to a front so i now doubt its that.
Some other wierd type of locking hub? Maybe its just busted

G'day I think you will find it's and early MAP type locking hub, ?English made in late 50's for Series 1 Landrovers and would fit the series 2 and 2A and any other L/r with coarse spline , it's definatley NOT a diff lock as suggested hope that has dampened your enthusiam too much cheers Dennis

G'day All

Thanks for the input, this site make it all so much easier to understand. I will get a picture tonight, I think it maybe just a hub engaging mechinism, it doesn't look like the picture.

I have spare diffs, diss housings and axles that have airlockers which I will put on the land rover.

cheers

Looks like something you'd attach those street war implements onto so you can bust the other guys tyre in a duel or tear great gouges in the body work.... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

It looks exactly like my McNamarra Diff lock.

the picture shown is definately a Macnamara diff locker. Jack Macnamara still operates out of Melbourne. You can find adverts for his diffs in English magazines. He also does a lot of lockers for the F series Fords which he exports to the States. So he must manufacture a good product to keep in production on vertually word of mouth as ads for his stuff is as rare as hens teeth, and anly seems to be displayed by the dealers for their own sales figures

I am sure it is just an old free wheeling hub.

Hi Crazie
Yes it is some form of a free wheeling hub.There is an arrow on the bolt and corresponding free and lock positions on the hub.
Never seen one like it before,perhaps others have.
