I didnt end up getting any made as quots for the mould (2 piece) were way more than i thought around (2.5K), and coppies would cost me $600 each. other places were not really interested. So i just chucked the origional on my county. New it was 1100 from Kar Craft, but it takes a while to get. Andy

Anyone used a Rear disconect from a frontier/MU/Isuzu etc?

Frontiers, Vehicross and some other Isuzu platform cars use a disconnect in the long front axle next to the diff to engage and disengage 4wd. They can be opperated with vaccume or compressed air (low preassure). I have one which i took to bits (will post photos up soon) and i am debating if the ...
