    if you are chasing axles then they are still being made by one of his employees...just under a different name, a quick search on the forum should find the info

    if you chasing lockers i have arb driving maxi axles and am happy with them

    Why is it better than the ARB stuff, genuine question, I'm not contesting what you are saying, just like to know, Regards Frank.

    Hi Guys.
    this is getting interesting as the answers are mixed.
    I must admit I have not queried on diff lockers before and have never heard of Jmac b4 are they the goods or just another name ???
    The maxi axles and ARB do they work and if they break its two different parts to order out bush ! feed back on those products
    And the JMacs do you know the prices as i need to have it done with in the next two months
    cheers
    and thank you

    I wonder , why not ask why maxidrive is better than a ARB as well ?

    Do ARB repair their products if there is a problem with it = NO they out source the repair job , to who i hear you ask , J,Mcnamara does repairs to ARB lockers

    So wouldnt he see the faults in there product and build his stronger

    Apart from jmac lockers and axle,s being far superior in constuction and and quality , You are dealing with the man that makes the stuff as with mal (maxidrive) not some pimple head snot nose know it all behind a counter

    Check out his link Jack McNamara - Differential Specialists

    Hi
    JacMac rear locker is around the $1,200 figure, fitting was quoted at around $400

    I corresponded with Jeff via email and he was very professional and easy to deal with, though others have noted that he can be grumpy at times.

    JacMac also manufactures axles, though i think they may be a touch more pricey than then 'artist formerly known as maxi-drive' axles.
