Thread: Welding diffs

I'm not 100% on what you are referring to when you say get a 24 spline locker? Aren't they all single spinners from the factory? I'm happy with 400 bucks, that is two axles, and a center for replacing any stuff I break. I've messaged DAMINK and we have very similar cars, so I'm assuming (will know on Sunday night for sure when the diff comes out) that I have 24 spline axles too. The wrecker wants 440 for the center and 110 an axle. It Is cheaper to buy the whole thing as it saves them time. Unless I've misunderstood what you were saying?

Center and axles suit each other.
So if you have 10 spline axles you could get a 10 spline locker center to suit.
I imagine yours is 24 spline. If so then just change the center with a locker.
Use the existing axles.

I got a second hand center for mine a while ago for $100 i think.
Super easy to change. So if you purchased a second hand center then you could weld that one and replace.
That way you have a spare center in the event things go wrong.
And its possible things could go wrong. Axles snapping being the most likely.
That said i do plan to do it. Center is sitting on my work bench and welder is out. Just need motivation to do it.
