Yes it is. It only covers cutting, bending, heating and welding. The third is not actually part of what is covered. Maybe you should read point 6 in the attached.

My point exactly, hence the lack of smiley on the end

I don;t argue legalities, not interested, because if cutting and welding a boss to my axle housing is the first thing that gets picked on during a roadside inspection, or knocked on a RWC, I'll be impressed

The other ironic part of that attachement, which I have a hard copy of here, from many moons ago, is that, it implies you can drill as many holes in your suspension components as you see fit, without needing approval, good luck with that

Boys, Boy, Boys! Love your work. This is almost as good as the suspension thread.

As for the original problem, I think that has been answered about 10 times. Maxidrives are slower to lock and you just have to wait for the light to come on and you will be ok. I have only heard of one person having maxidrive problems and that was something to do with the actuator binding up, nothing that couldnt be fixed with a big hammer.

I have maxi rear and ARB front. I like the way you dont need a seperate air source to power the maxidrive and I like the light that tells you it is on.

I like the price and the positive actuation on the ARB locker.


As for engineering of maxidrives, that is the first I have heard of that. I guess it does make sense since you have to weld to the axle housing but I have not heard of anyone getting it done. I would never bother getting it done.

So to sum up :

Any locker is good (as long as it is a REAL selectable locker )

No locker is bad


There you go, now you have something else to argue about.

Poor mans locker.


Actually, maybe a CIG locker is really a poor mans locker.

Not when you factor in the cost of tyres.
