my bt50 blew a cv, any chance of claiming on warranty, only mods are a welded diff"

on a serious note, i doubt theres been anything made for these yet, probably could arse around with something and make it fit, out of my depth though

Well, he didn't specify GOOD alternatives :D . But if ARB/TJM don't make one, and neither does lock-rite or detroit, then that's about it.

maybe contact Daniel Bongard (dbongard) on here. He is an ARB engineer, and could tell you if there are any plans to make one, or if there is something else you can get to fit.

Mazda front diffs are insanely weak, you would be mad to do a mod of any sort, i have broken the housing, case and hemispere all in one hit, 7000km old too!

Maybe you should consider Traction Control.

For around the same price as lockers you could get it fitted to your car. Haultech Engineering still does it AFAIK.

Try calling Charles on 07 3816 3153.

Their system was fitted to a rig in Tuff Truck called the Lockless Monster which came around 13th IIRC. IT works really well and will be far more forgiving on your diff parts than a locker.
