Right guys... Just been on the phone to David @ KAM... don't know why any of you have had trouble contacting them, I picked the phone up, called 01483 419779 and about 5 rings later "Hello KAM differentials"

David has informed me that they do 100% still offer Suzuki kits as per listed on their website and should have pretty much all the components there and in stock. However they have not had any enquiries for quite a while, so they do not have kits ready and waiting to send out immediately... BUT if the demand it there they will happily get the kits all under way again.

I have also been chatting with them a bit more about front lockers and shafts, and have supplied them with sample axles and components, they have just employed a new CAD designer also so thing are defiantly still moving along nicely....

Yes their main market is Land Rover, but they are still ALIVE AND KICKING and totally up for supplying are developing Suzuki parts.

They are not the owners, they are a share holder.

If you read KAM's website it tells you all about it. www.kamdiffs.com/about-kam/

KAM are STILL TRADING "FACT"... KAM is still run by the same guys it has always been run by, "FACT"... Allmakes pumped a load of money in to KAM... "FACT"

Don't believe everything people tell you... if you aren't sure about something it's always best to contact the company in question DIRECT rather than second hand forum info...

Have you tried ringing KAM recently? Today?...

Thanks for the facts Rob. But just to be clear I have tried ringing these guys about 6 months ago on more than one occasion without success. Maybe just bad timing.

I'll give them another try but it's only because your fighting there corner. If there is interest why not someone put together a group buy on the rear lockers??

Yup I'm sure it would have just bad timing, they do A LOT of work for the military and I know if they get pushed on dead lines etc then that comes first...

If they can't answer the phone David said please leave them a message and they will always try to get back to you.
