Are any of these lockers compatable with 413 diffs or are they for samurais only.

A mate of mine is literally importing these diffs as we speak, he is going to send them of to have the heat treatment process which are missed.

Then they might be worth having a go with.

Other wise I don't think I would trust them.

In a pure offroad toy, I might try the chinasoong lockers, but anything that is going to do motorway speeds, I'd want to know they aren't going to malfunction and lock up mid corner and put me sideways, perhaps even rolling over. I'd be more inclined to trust them after being properly heat treated and/or shot peened. Not that I'm in the market!

Curious to know how things turn out with that batch - from the sound of it, they could be spot on...
