Diff lock on SFA
Guys ...
I have the 91 SFA without a diff lock... and on the axel twisters is where I get bollie from my buds in there "other" bakkies...
The rear diff is the sealed type... so how I do get around this small problem, without having to change the diff for one with a lock on it ???

Re: Diff lock on SFA
One which helps (if your handbrake is working) is to engage it when you're experiencing the slip. This will effectively break that wheel and thus function like a difflock.

That handbrake theory is a load of kark, espesially when your drums are wet.

Re: Diff lock on SFA
Used the handbrake successfully on JohanM's Lux this weekend. He has a heavy duty setup upfront on his OME and needs a blade removed or a heavy bumper and winch added (or a piece of railway track
) as his Lux is a bit lazy to flex.

Re: Diff lock on SFA
Just fit a locker and trying to ballshait yourself that the handbrake works as a locker. The import axel is a good unit and easy to fit a locker into.

Re: Diff lock on SFA
Sorry verkeerde raad
Het jy nie die imported diff nie.(As jy die diff housing(3rd member) moet los skroef aan die propshaft kant). Post 'n foto.
Ons doen specials die maand op lockers R 13928, dis 1 locker, compressor en tyre kit met installasie,nuwe 50mm carrier bearings by R400.
O ja, as die handbriek nie werk, vervang die handbriek kabel, dis nou 'n maand dat myne darem werk.(Die enigste SFA met handbriek in Gauteng!!)
Groette,
Louis

Re: Diff lock on SFA
As jy nie baie geld het om ARB lockers in te sit nie , dink aan Lockrights +- R3500-R4500 of Detroits R7500-R9000 stuk (hang af by wie jy dit koop). Ek het Lockrights voor en agter in my Lux. Nie 'n dag spyt nie. Kontak Dieseldog of Riceburner op die site, hulle voer lockers in. :D

Lockrites or Auzie lockers are fine in a lux, even with 33's.

I have said it to many people before, first learn to drive your vehicle without stuff like lockers and learn to drive proper lines etc, otherwise you will never learn proper driving technique, once you are happy the limitation is the vehicle and not the driver any more then you can fit this stuff, otherwise you will become like some drivers who need lockers and crawler gears etc. to compensate for lack of driving skills

Where I drive you need lockers and cawlers. Come wheeling with me one day and we can see what an expert driver you are.
