They've made one that is fitted to the Green Manx, apparently they are happy with its performance. Not sure if they have any for sale yet, but they
wont be cheap.

Here's a pic of the solenoid attached to the yellow plate. This activates the locker

Brad has just put a normal locker in the Geko, he is happy with it's performance. It would be the cheaper option.

So Wes, excuse my ignorance, but what exactly do you classify as a 'normal locker'?

That aint no normal locker !!
Oh well, they work ok, I was looking at building the air locker option in 98 but never got all the gear together. It would be the ultimate!!

A loc-rite is what I would call the normal on-demand aftermarket locker. Air lockers are the next step up, but obviously cost more too.
Out of interest, what would you refer to as a normal locker?

The most widely used locking diff in the off road world would have to be a Detroit, allthough I do realise they dont fit vw transaxles. I was
wondering what you called normal.
I have used a loc-rite in my dc kombi, but feel it was pretty savage on cv's on the street, mainly due to huge cam and right foot, but off road was
superb, especially when I had the revvy 2.2 6cyl 911 eng.. Sideways action was a scream!
