Check fully articulated and swing lock both ways. Lock both ways ok and will be if I raise the height a bit, cannot do articulation until under lightweight so might leave them as they are for now.........Thank you regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came to that conclusion after I wrote the post just didn't get time to put a reply up, I can put the track bar a lot closer as it's not going to be affected by radius arm twist regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wondered abut a concentric clutch release bearing as a difflock actuator for these sliding-collar style lockers. On the subject of those fiddly needle bearings, can you find a more modern / less faffy alternative that would fit? That's what I've done with a few of the weirder Volvo bearings and seals.

But only temporarily I was diagnosed with testicular cancer towards the end of the year, have had an operation but starting chemotherapy tomorrow, hence some stuff had to get put on the back burner due to a change in priorities In short not many mog posts at the moment, but a little way down the line you will be sick of them lol Ahh nearly forgot a belated happy Christmas to you all and good health and success with projects in 2022 Regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
