Re: Gallagags Trolley tug build

Ok, more progress this weekend. Michael and I machined the transfer adapter last week. Unfortunately, neither of us are much chop at machining, so the "press fit" we were looking for was a bit looser than that :oops: but some hard gasket cement has retained the bearing solidly. It all fitt...

Re: Vapor to solid - finally - and back to Vapor

Yes and Yes.... But there are some very crude versions of this type of locker that use the original side gears. The "driver" engages directly on the gear. These are obviously very cheap to produce as there is no requirement to broach a spline. Originally, all "lockright" lockers ...

Re: Vapor to solid - finally

I remember reading about these lockers in Petersen's a couple of years ago, although feroza's weren't mentioned, there was a guy in Germany selling lockers for a bunch of removable cover diffs. A guy called Wolfgang started a site http://www.killeraxle.com, moved to the US, and was going to be the U...

Re: Gallagags Trolley tug build

Little bit of progress this weekend. Michael has chosen a colour - It's a colourbond colour - "Woodland Grey." He's had 4 litres of equipment enamel mixed by protec paints in Preston. The colour is much darker and greener than it looks in the photos - the very blue light of the flash is ma...

Re: Vapor to solid - finally

That's great news Ross!

What can you tell us about it? (other than the price :oops:) Is at a copy of an airlocker design - all internal - or does it use an external actuator? Is it compressed air actuated?

Re: Gallagags Trolley tug build

We got a pretty good day in today. We carefully measured the position of the gearbox output shaft so we can keep the auto in as close as possible to the stock position. The chassis was stripped of all unneeded brackets from the cab mounts back. The rear crossmember was cut, a pintle mount fabricated...
