Looking for ARB locking diffs
« on: January 10, 2005, 09:02:13 »
People Hi,

A lot of LR Club of Greece members are considering fitting ARB locking diffs (despite my preference for the QUAIFE and KAM ones since QUAIFEs are more expensive and are not manually selectable and KAM are simply not available until March 2005)

I would be obliged if you could lead me to your sources trying to find the cheapest possible supplier.

Thanks in advance

As ever, you could give Devon 4x4 a try...   they usually have plenty in stock and are willing to do a deal.

I looked at the ARB locking diffs from www.paddockspairs.com and I'm sure they were around £750 :roll:

Speak to Ian at 4 All Fours, http://www.4allfours.co.uk/ He is very experienced in ARB lockers, and also the export business, regularly exporting items to Iceland. He is an official ARB dealer, so you get the spare parts and repair service that other suppliers can't manage so well.

Arb's, don't forget!...

Don't forget you need a source of compressed air for the ARB lockers.  They do a compressor themselves, but it's extra.  Or, if you have one anyway, it'll need to provide somewhere between 70 and 100PSI to operate the lockers.  (NO more than that, or you'll destroy the seals!!)

A Two way solenoid valve or tap will be needed too...  To supply air to, or vent air from the diff.

They do do the business though, briliant pieces of kit, especialy for the longer vehicles, 109's 110's etc...

Fitting them can be "interesting", especialy if you have a Salisbury/Dana60 axle.  You'll need a special tool to stretch the diff' case, also a press for removing/fitting one of the bearings.  For the nromal Landy diff's, no problem...  A thread cutting tap also (forget the thread and size, but it's not metric) to make a hole for the air line fitting.

It's a lot easier with the axle out of the vehicle if it's a salisbury, the normal diff's you take out and put on the bench anyway....

Have fun...  Or more likely, get someone else to do it for you!

Ashcrofts transmissions do ARB

and being ashcrofts you tend to get a level of service.

I think that the ARB compressor is about £150. Maybe you can fabricate your own but I would go for the proper item.
