I believe its possible to get Truetrac type centres for the big Salisbury (at great expense), what exactly are you looking for?

I was told on another forum recently that Harrop are the Oz distributors for Truetrac and original Detroit locker centres which are available for the big Salisbury. Dunno about the little one

Flick the 7 grand and they will look after you !
I'm running a 4 pinion VK BW conversion in the Targa Hatch Steve, works really well.
If you go to a Harrop Detroit locker and want 31 splines, i've got 2 brand new axles here for you.

Same problem I saw in the B/W diff Grina..hence the Lokka in it...best of luck, don't know of any Lockers for big salisbury but there might beone out there. failing that..go with the LSD tightened right up in my opinion.

Welby,

How does that new Salisbury 4 pinion conversion work? If it uses BW parts maybe the Lokka would fit?I thought WA Diff Centre was looking into fitting a Lokka to the big Salisbury, did you hear anything?

Uses salisbury crown and pinion but B/W LSD guts, quite ingenious actually and might be my next diff.
Don't see why a lokka wouldn't fit.

Hi all.
'bout the same Steve, 435 at the fly.
Andy they wanted to adapt a 4wd unit, but same as Harrop, big $$. In the end, i would not be getting my $ worth for the event we enter.
It uses salisbury crown and pinion from the VK, but B/W internals, we ran it last year and it worked really well.

Hmm the Lokka only fits in open centres, not LSD. But if they do an open version too then I'd say this sounds promising, and I bet its still cheaper than a Detroit locker!Uses salisbury crown and pinion but B/W LSD guts, quite ingenious actually and might be my next diff.

harrop are to commence a production batch of Truetrac differentials to
suit the early Holden 10 bolt Salisbury diff.
These unit are identical in specification and appearance to the
Commodore units we manufacture.
Alternatively we can remanufacture a Detroit Locker as were supplied
back in the Grp C period.
The Truetrac will be ~$1,750.00 inc GST and a Detroit Locker will be
~$2,500.00 inc GST.
thats an email i got from harrop

Good work Steve.
I will add that the detroit locka needs some axles as well. that will up the cost.
Did i mention i have 2 brand new 31 spline axles to suit ?
Looking for a new home at the right rate....
