Then I read - www.bits4vits.co.uk/lsdfsm.pdf (this is the manual for the rear, but I suspect the front is the same?)
That looks like a solid + cross in the middle?
How strong is that in relation to 2 and 4 pin diffs? :blink:

The stock Vitara front diff is a two-pin, when fitting a locker a four-pin Samurai rear is a common upgrade.

But the FSM shows a solid piece in the middle? -

Ah, so the ones that you plan to sell are 26 spline then Russ? That changes things a bit.

I should just say, I'm not trying to put you on the spot. I'm just interested in your thoughts on the big shaft small shaft, 2 pin 4 pin big spline etc argument.
