Steve,
my 80's factory locker is ran off an electric actuator which slides a pin though locking the diff and the housing is different to the standard 80 housing so I would believe not.
But I'm probably wrong, well that's what the misses is always saying

If you want to install 80 or 100 series lockers to your hilux or bundy theres only one way to go. You''ll have to fit the 80 or 100 series axles.

Incorrect. The hilux housing just needs a small section cut out of it. And the spring Ubolt kind of gets in the way as well but it will fit. The Factory locker is not as strong as an ARB though. And the actuator set up is prone to failure but can be modified to accept a cable i beleive.

There is enough info in this thread on Pirate to guide the way- http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthre ... ht=elocker

Yes, it can be done....but you would really need to do it over say a air locker....because the diff needs modding, the actuator needs sorting, then the centre could break easier...(they are not as strong)...all big negitives....just the possible oil leaks would be a nightmare...
