Generally you need an open centre. But i do remember years ago someone offered a lockright style locker to suit the LSD not sure who or if its still available.

mate don't think they have them for a lsd type centre, it would be easier for you to buy another diff centre in the same ratio (sell yours with the lsd) and then install a standard lockrite to it....
The lockrites are heaps easy and cheap to get for the lux's...And work AWSOME
you might even get a bit more for your lsd centre which will pay for some of your lockrite....

I have already ordered the Lockrite from Lockedup 4x4 to suit standard 8" Hilux 4cyl centre. Have two LSD centres, which will turn into one for the front with a little extra pre load.
The rear will end up with the lockrite. Found a pair of complete hilux 3rd members tonight tucked away on a shelf so it should be all good.
Are all open centres the same? I vaugely recall the 4.1 ratios differed in some way??

the centres shud be the same from what i have seen the 4.88 has a diff offset of the carrier but still the same hemisphere.

I've got both 4.1 and 4.5 centres laying around here, and cannot find any difference in the actual centre. The 3rd member casing is slightly different, but that could be the difference in years (The 4.5s are from an 84 LN65, the 4.1s are some newer mid 90's vehicle).

you need the pin out of the middle of an open center and the carrier to suit it. The lsd carrier is different, i think it has 2 pins or a star, memory not great, it's been too long.

I saw on snakeracing.com.au:
Lockright no. 1610: The Toyota 8" Lock right diff lock will fit the REAR diff found in all IFS Hilux , 4 Runners and Surfs..
These would have LSD rears wouldn't they?
I bought a 1620 for my 4runner with LSD and had to change centres. If I'd known then what I know now.
