That's what J.K. Jackson says for sure.

I'm pretty happy with the Detroit Locker in my TR-4 (and it wasn't all
that cheap!).

That expert referred to, is almost certainly J.K.

Well, probably because the other two are no longer avialable new.

>Does anyone have a line on either the Detroit Locker or Salisbury units?

I've got a Detroit Locker in my race car and a Salisbury in my TR-3A, 
but neither one is for sale, sorry.  If you really want a Detroit or
a Salisbury, you'll pretty much have to find a racer who's selling off
his old stash of hoarded parts.

good luck,
