Thanks Jack and Bob.
It's interesting that they say it operates like a Torsen LSD when not locked. That's pretty cool, but people have been known to call Lockrites and Kaiser lockers 'LSD's which makes me sceptical of any such claims. The paired bolt pattern suggests there's more going on inside than just an open diff though, quite possibly the helical worm gears of a Torsen. Not cheap enough for me right now unfortunately!

But..

Looks to me like it's the same price as genuine ARB lockers in continental europe. Which makes it totally uninteresting in my mind.

Well....received yesterday. I'm currently looking for a shop that does locker installs.

The only things I can confirm right now are that the workmanship seems to be high quality and it is a helical gear LSD.

Looks just like the box on the web page.......I'm used to them arriving looking like the shipper took a hammer to it

As mentioned, I will assemble my own cables and connectors.

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

Does the kit include new carrier bearings?

Heinrich:
No bearings. In truth, I probably wouldn't use them if they came with the locker. They would almost certainly be a 3rd party Chinese bearing. I will be using bearings from Suzuki.

As an update, I think I have found a trustworthy installer through the local Jimny club. I will provide an update when I have it finished.

I am just thinking what you get in the kit for the money you paid.
