    Detroit no spin and truetrac lockers via USA

    G'day all,
    I want to put a no spin/detroit locker in the rear of my 2001 defender and a true trac in the front.I have been told that the no-spin is exactly the same unit as the detroit softlocker, the only difference being that the detroit locker comes in it's own hemisphere case.
    The defender hemisphere case suits apparently so I can save a few bucks with no spin rather than the detroit locker.
    A quick look on Ebay motors and I reckon I could land the two here(no spin and truetrac) for about A$1300-(total for both).To buy locally about $2100-.
    So $800- in front via US.
    Problem is the ebay websites have a lot of different detroit/no spin/tru trac lockers for all sorts of different applications and I am a bit of a mechanical bunny....
    Can anyone help with a part number or advice generally on exactly what to order??
    I've got maxidrive axles front and rear.
    Thanks in advance for any help fellas...

    Thanks Phil, I'll do that.
    Yep they are the same thing I'm told, just one comes in it's own hemisphere case and the other doesn't, mechanically identical otherwise...got this info off www.locked-drive.com.au

    YOur going to be paying GST and import duties to customs on that combination, if your going to get them ship them couple months apart, even if you ship them in different weeks customs will lump the import together and apply duties.

    I know this as that's what happened to me in 08 when l imported 2 detroit tru tracks from Keith added couple extra hundred dollars on the deal, plus the Aus to USA dollar conversion.

    Good call, thanks for that...It used to be under $1000- they let stuff through without gst and duty, not sure if that's still the same

    Just to make you even MORE excited, the Detroit for the Sals takes about 55 minutes to fit at the most. I just did another one last week and it is a great result. I'll dig out the part number if you like.
