    A quick vid on my Air Locker installation

    Hey guys! Have been pretty busy with work lately but managed to scramble some time yesterday to fit up my Ashcroft Air Locker to the rear diff of my P38! And of course I had to take it out and 'test' it as well! Here's a quick vid I made up...

    Cheers

    I can hear the sound OK...!

    Impressive results!

    How long did it take you to fit the locker?

    Did you need to remove the rear axle?

    cheers

    Initial install took about 4hrs, that includes drilling and tapping the hole for the air line to feed into the diff. I had to pull it out again yesterday because I bumped the copper air line and dislodged the o-ring. Yesterday it took an hour and a half all up. The axles need to be removed in order to remove the diff centre.

    Good demo, I liked it. I need more pics of the switch, the wiring, the solenoid and the diff!

    Where did you source the locker from and were you able to install it into the diff centre yourself?

    Thanks!

    Also heard from some disco/classic guys at last weekends VIC AULRO anniversary bash that these Ashcroft items are a good thing (good as ARB's) and are only around the $800 mark delivered (but DIY).
    Hoo-Roo,

    Sorry, probably opening Pandora's box but a quick question...

    Why did you go for rear over front locker first? Does your P38 have std front traction control?

    Also I've been told by a few different people that tapping/feathering brakes on slipping Traction control will initiate Locker style behavior from it. Has anyone experience or comment on this?
    Hoo-Roo,

    Dave.

    I take it that your model P38 does not have full 4 channel traction control like later D2s etc - even my 98 Freelander. I was surprised that Tc did not take you up on the first go but not having a more modern TC system would explain it.

    Great demo though - thanks.
