Onderwerp: Re: [Fot] Detroit Locker Question
Good idea Stephen to upgrade the Triumph live axle. I forgot to mention that
I am using the Ford axle conversion in my TR3 racer and the Detroit locker
with 4.55 gears. No need to adjust end float or use that button.

Hello John,
You only need to use the button if your running a live axil (TR3 & 4s). You
must have the button installed so that you can set the axil bearing load
(with shims) when installing the axils. Both the axils will touch the
button. The TR6 uses an independent rear end and thus you don't have to set
axil bearing loads together, thus no button. Each axil is independent from
the other. The rest of the differential/pumpkin is the same.
FYI, I just sent my live axil rear end to the Southwick machine shop to
install the ford type HD axils (no bearing adjustment needed anymore) and
you don't have to use the button either. You may want to thing about this.
Price $1k I can send you a picture of the button and measurements if you
want.
Thxs. Steve

Hi,
I'm setting up a 3.70 diff and I had a Detriot Locker kicking around, so I
figured I should use it as a posi. In any case, my TR6 axles seem to bottom
out in the Detroit Locker. Note: I had to split the locker (which was held
together with a couple of bolts) so that I could install the ring gear and
wouldn't you know it - there was enough spring tension in device to pop
open. So, I had to figure out how to re-assemble it. Maybe I goofed in the
re-assembly.
I bought the Locker a long time ago from a guy named Pancho from the west
coast. He pulled the part from a Devin Tr3 that he had been vintage racing
but he was returning the car to street trim.
The question is: I know that Quaifes have a center "button" that you can
leave out or else the TR6 axles bottom - Does the Locker has a similar piece
that needs to be there for TR3's but not TR6?
I'd appreciate any advice!!
Right now, I'm pulling one of my Quaifes apart so I can install the 3.70
gear on that, but I'd rather have the diffs all rady to just pop in and NOT
have to pull the carrier and pinion if I need a gear change!!

rml
