The cheapest way to lock your diff is to weld it up;). But this abviously is not legal and can be scary in the wet.
If you just use it for play and live close to your favorite play ground a welded up diff is great. It only takes a few hours to swap the open diff back when you finish playing. But you have to be keen.
BTW I too am looking for a Mcnamara diff lock for my old truck. let me know if you find 2 of them.
cheers

Put a detroit in it you have already seen the result it will be the cheapest but you should consider Maxi Axles.
Considering you can pick up a bolt diff lock with axles for less than a pair of maxi drive axles, how is a detroit cheaper?Quote:

Do Mcnamara lockers and axles come up often? i would be interested if someone can give me a heads up on a sale.
what sort of specs are the appropriate axles for a mcnamara difflock?

Cj I tried to pick one of these up a couple of years ago Jack Mac laughed at me and no one else communicated
To me it was a lost cause

Does any one know if the Lockrite diff lock is still being produced? they were quite a good option ive been told for the series Landys.
My Series 3 has a McNamara. The bolt action hub is shown in the avatar. I rarely need to use it but when it is locked in the thing is unstoppable. Good luck finding one.

Even if you could fine one, you could probably get a lockrite for a similar amount.
The salisbury model seems very strong, but if you get a rover one and something breaks...
