ARB Locker RD01 into 80 series front...anyone done this?

[Surfin Alec]

I have an RD01 lockre that I kept from the Surf and was going to put in the front of the 80 as they are both 8"diffs.
But now I found that the RD01 has a bearing ID size of 45mm (79mm OD) and the 80 has a bearing size of 50mm ID (and 83mm OD).
So I am chasing a bearing with a ID of 45mm and a OD of 83mm (as oposed to the Surf bearing with an OD of 79mm).
Then the next step is the adjuster plate that the actuator bolts to. I have a 45/79 and I need a 50/83 which I am told "should be OK" and ARB can supply.
I just want to know if anyone has had sucess with this adaption.

My RD01 is the one with 3 alley keys on the actuator plate and a steel air line.

Thanks,

Alec

Machined up some bushes 44.95ID x x49.95OD x ~20.00 wide. shrunk them on to the locker got the bigger adjuter nut and the job was done.

yeah i did the same thing for a customer, had some press fit sleeves machined up and worked a treat

Ta,

Cant find anyone to machine up the spacers for in time for this weekend (as its the only time I got fit the lockers before I go away).
So its for sale and I am getting a new locker for the front of the 80.

I'm in the same situation where I have an RD01 that I need to fit up to my carrier that take an 83mm OD bearing... The questing I have is will the seal housing assembly from the RD01 bolt up to an adjuster nut from a current RD132?

If this turns out to be too much of a PITA then the locker will be for sale!

Sorry to dig up and old thread, but thought it better than staring another one...

I would have the correct adjuster nut kicking around as one of the locker kits came with 2 adjuster nuts 80 & 83mm and i kept the left over.

Question to anyone that knows, are all the axel splines the same count then! just about to purchase a RD01 already sleeved to fit with ID50mm and OD83mm bearings and adjuster nut! and wanting to put it into my 105! assuming 80s and 105 front centres are the same which im sure they are then i dont see why it wouldnt fit my 105.. i just want to make sure the axel spines will still be the same! cheers!!

You should get some solid confirmation on wether the 80s and 105s centres are the same. I dont think they are compatible but not certain.

goin by the new listings on the ARB site http://www.arb.com.au/resources/pdf/air ... _chart.pdf

solid front lux and solid front 105 use the same locker.. so i the RD01 is outta a solid front lux u should be able to get it to fit..

axel dia is the same and the spline count is the same
