    Any Recommendations for Differential (locker) fitting in Melb

    Guys,

    Just had my Ashcroft ATB delivered from Lucky8 - Yahoo ! and have tossed up whether to do it myself, but ive decided its not worth the potential destruction should i not set up the backlash and bearing preloads correctly. That and my workshop is a dirt driveway!

    So if anyone can recommend a diff specialist or mechanic that is good with diffs, im all ears. Location preference is either Inner West melb or Mulgrave area.

    I will be pulling the centre out and handing that and the ATB to whomever I end up choosing for them to assemble and I will re-install.

    Also - anyone know the part number for the axle o-ring /seal ? I cant get microcat to work on my PC and i should replace these while im at it

    Les Richmond??

    There's only one mob down my way I'd trust to do anything with my diffs, and it isn't ARB.

    I have bought stuff from him a few times and he has been nothing but pleasant and polite. Though it may help that I am ~4000 km away and have usually dealt with him via email.

    Maybe Try and ring him blunt rude , You will still be talking to him and he just hangs up .

    Im not bagging his workmanship or products they are second to none
    But in person or over the phone good luck
