    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
    Will.

    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?

    I have seen the detroit locker work, and was amazed with it. two of the same cars, but where one was sliding and losing tractions after about 10 attempts, the other just crawled up there first go.

    Do Mcnamara lockers and axles come up often? i would be interested if someone can give me a heads up on a sale.

    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.

    True...

    I can only remember seeing 1 for sale in the last 5 years. It was a rover one and something was broken in it.

    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...
