I think he already has a rear locker.

I want to install a rear on at front so i can have already the 26spline for HD axleshafts and cv's.

So the test was made by a friend of mine, rear arb locker installed at front. Works great and has the trail gear 26spline kit.

Have a look and comment.

After all this time of people fitting rear side gears to front arb diffs you reckon all they needed to do was order a rear arb diff for the front! Have you tried to fit it to the axle casing yet? Does it fit?

At the last diff pic you can see the slight trim to fit the crown in the housing. The same thing must be done to the axle housing to fit.
All holes are fit 100%.
The diff works. My friends car partisipated at a trial race with no problem. Its also his daily to work car.
