Mudmonkey Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 How easy is it to get hold of parts for the detroit lockers? I've acquired a 30 spline locker from a Skyjack cherry picker (Dana axle I think). Not 100% sure on the reason for it heading to the scrap bin but I think it was unlocking at odd times. I've had it apart and the only thing that I can spot (no expert now!) is a bit of wear on the two main springs. Couple of crappy pictures where you can just about see the wear. Will (Muddy) has already found me the springs on ebay US but I'd still need the splined parts that the half shafts push into to change to 24 spline and also the main ring gear. Does anyone have any idea if these are available off the shelf somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudmonkey Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 I haven't been filled with the confidence that I normally gain from posting a question on here! I've fired off a few emails to some "differential shops" over in america (I wish we had places like that here). Hopefully they might be of some use to me. Seems a shame to let the thing get scrapped!
