yeh thought of that but detroits based in america,was hoping to find somewhere in england that supplied parts preferably close to me but its looking like i might have to go direct to detroit,going to give crown differentials and ashcroft transmisions a ring tommorow first though,fingers crossed

Ashcrofts I believe they stopped supplying them a while back for rover axles because of a fault might be worth a shout where did you but it from?

i bought it second hand off ebay,had it in a while now though,ive rang round everywhere today and no ones got parts for them as they very rarely break,only place that can get one (dog clutch)is crown diffs but it'll be while and not cheap,proper gutted cos theres a p&p day this weekend i really wanted to go to so if anyone can help locate a new dog clutch or cheap locker i would greatly appreciate it

If anyone got a 4 pin diff they want sell i'll buy that as a really want to go out this weekend

you've lost me

For Sale section 4 Pin diffs go for around £250 in these parts for a known goodun £150 for an unknown one and still an open diff. Might aswell use a cheapo till you fix your detroit and just not spin up opposite wheels or drop a spinning wheel against the ground

Or Buy a crap cheap 24 spline 2 pin and weld the centres up it'd be fully locked absolutly mad on the road skipping rear end all over the place (Been there done that tyres took a beating) Fun tho and Cheap (might void your insurance aswell)

yeh they normally go for that around here to,had one in in my last 90 what got stolen,really good diffs,what caused my detroit to fail was a half shaft snapping(i had standard half shafts in:dohapperently when a half shaft snaps it puts a shock load on the clutch on that side which either causes a fracture or as in my case the teeth get stripped,%99 of the time thats the cause of a detroit locker failing,ive managed to get hold of some h/d shafts so hopefuuly wont happen again,ive got on open diff centre in the shed just dont want to keep having to strip the diff out

I did a half shaft but it was a beefier salisbury shaft not strong twas a britpart special £12. Sticking to good LR shafts they are good but when their time is up they just twang!

managed to get a 4 pin today,£200 off a bloke near me,its an ex military one what he kept as a spare for his bowler,gonna throw it in in the morning so at least i can get out this weekend
