<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">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. </DIV></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN>Hello John,</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><SPAN>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.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><SPAN>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.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>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.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>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.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>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?</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I'd appreciate any advice!!</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>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!!</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Regards,</DIV>
