use of air lockers

[droopypete]

There is an engineer over here using a brake m/c to hydralically lock hilux lsd's, giving instant locker engagement and release

I think there is also a few people smoking a bit of the "wackey weed"

photochopped?

the theory is quite simple actually. Apply hydaulic pressure to the clutch pack, voila- instant lock. Machining the hemispeher ( maybe) and fabbing a bearing carrier with a hydraulic mechanism would be all thats needed

would be great for the front , you could stage the pressure for turning and CV conservation.

Actually when Under load, you might hit the buton, but I think you'll find the locker stays engaged untill the load lessens enough o allow it to disengage....


Agreed, just modulate throttle.

I haven't had any problems. A little bigger turning circle but not as bad as the air-locker brigade like to have you think. Drive one and find for yourself. Very Happy

Can't fault mechanicals.

However most of the airlockers I've seen tend to shite themselves all the time.

one of those hydraulic lsd's in the front of a patrol would be awesome. anyone kno anymore about them?
