no never had anything to do with them. spoke to someone that knows there shit and they didnt rate them. kam has been know for its missinformation and changing designs over so that the older ones dont have parts available.

IMO they are overly complicated and overrated. if i was to need diff locks for a rover atm i would go either ARB with Hi Tough Eng. axles or Jacmac. both very good, simple, proven and reliable. and you are supporting Aussies companies....

im not sure, i thought there may be some production going on in the USA as the same products seem to be cheaper over there, but that could be due to the huge volume they do and any trade agreements Aus has with the USA....

That's what I was thinking. Although there's not much I can't get waaaay cheaper from the US...... Sad really. We pay way too much for what is available globally and it has nothing to do with smaller markets. It's got more to do with us being silly enough to pay the price we're forced to.

yeah the jacmac ones are good, i keep hearing he doesnt have the best customer service skills however whenever i have rang him for info ive found his alright.

I was going to go for his lockers but now I''m going for the toyota e locker diff with std 4.11 diff ratio with 30spline axles, i think its the cheapest and best option considering you can do the whole conversion for less then the price of 2 arb or jacmac lockers
