Thanks Mikey - I was just on my way to this thread to say the auction price has leapt into the realms of the ridiculous.
So thank you to all the kind offers of help - all deeply appreciated, but now not needed.
Thank you everyone
A kaiser one - bought it on here ready built up and it's my first foray into locking diffs of any description (just worked on trying to balance the suspension up until now).
Only done 10 miles on it so far though. Feels tighter (?) than my old one, which seems to make the rest of the drive train clunk a little quicker ...
All a learning curve for me.
The more I think about atb diffs the more I like the idea. Though I've just today put a self locking diff in the back - so will see how I get on with it.
I iz !
I understood the benefits of open diffs - and some of the disadvantages of locked diffs, but I'd assumed they were of little consequence across the centre diff and only of noticeable affect across the axle.
That chap, Buck, on Pirate ran standard radius arms with one bush moves closer to the other (on one side) - before he went to a 3 link.
It's only anecdotal and second hand - but from memory he said it was a good set up.
