i'm crrently working on a conversion to fit an air locker to the front of a coily. once all goes well i will have the kit up for sale, so all of those with coilys can join the rest of us.






BUT, i do have the initial version here, fitted with a second hand air locker for sale. those that are interested, and not tyre kickers, pm me for a price as i need to recoup costs right away.

i'll add pics as it comes along.

[mrw82]

can you do one to fit a 1 litre next (without having to buy/run jimny diffs)

[jonno_racing]

what locker does it take?
i am intrested but atm cant aford the whole kit.

Hi Joe,

I sent you a PM, hope you got it.

Paul.

[joeblow]

yep, got it.



if the mods wish to move this to tech feel free. might be better there.



ok, all has gone well.


the jimny diff is narrower than a 1.3, so there was a fair bit of nutting out. the coily is an odd-ball, just like the rest of the vehicle. its front diff is 1.3 width, uses the bearings of a jimny/1 litre and has a smaller crown wheel than a 1.3.





as the above pics show i had to make spacers to compensate for the wider housing. 8mm to the non crownwheel side and 5mm on the crownwheel side. this will not affect the operation of the diff.


once that is done a new and bigger problem comes up, the seal housing will not fit like it should..........more modding to be done.


in this pic you will see the adjuster nut on the bottom which has been extensively machined down to give me the right fit for the seal housing. this modified nut will still apply more torque befor failing than a standard adjuster in an alloy front, so do not be too concerned. above it it the seal housing locking ring which also had to be machined down so the locking nut can pre-load the bearing correctly and still be able to rotate the locking ring when fitting the seal housing.


once the diff side of things is taken care off the seal housing line will interfere with the bearing cap. mark the position and machine a groove as shown and all will be well.


here we have the seal housing fitting as it should. looks neat too.


once all was tightened backlash and pattern was checked.....as can be seen all is well.


its a fiddly job but can be done. just remember if buying a coily it will be more pricey to do these conversions.

Hi Joe. Please check/ clear your PM's.
Thanks Paul.

[ajsr]

Its amazing you had time to make that new child joe
good job

[lukezuka]

Sorry for the noob question
But can you put air lockers on a Sierra coily without changing diffs

[atari4x4]

rear yes, front... you need a can of voodoo magic similar to the stuff joeblow is on.

Thanks and who is Joe blow ??

[atari4x4]

joe is the author of this thread.

[mondo]

has the kit been made? what arb locker was used here?

[PurpleZOOK]

This IS Coily porn am i right?

[Rusho]

It's still a half fix....it's still slotted into a piece of shit housing and suspension set up

[1DYX]

Sure, but now Coily drivers will be able to get that much further off road, before they have to wait for the leafy heros to rescue them....

Neat build, Joe.

[Rusho]

I'm not having a dog at Joes work...it is absolutely fantastic like everything else he does.

[joeblow]

My own....ahhhemm.....Locker will be announced second half of this year. Doing Patent paperwork past month.

It is air operated and nothing like what is currently on the market. It is that simple it aint funny. Kenny has been out testing with me and he gives it the thumbs up. There are also some other benefits which I can't go into as of yet due to legal stuff....

[Rusho]

Ooohhhh!!!!! Me likey!!!

[Jezza86]

^keenly watching this unfold. cant wait to see your solution.

[tanshi]

Would you be looking at needing it tested in the competition arena Joe?

[Zook_Fan]

Approximate pricing?

[joeblow]

It is not designed for that type of stuff but I'm willing to have a crack.

Trying to keep target price for a zook diff at $600-650.

[PurpleZOOK]

I knew it, it is coily porn haha, $600 is bang on the money as its roughly half way between an arb option and an auto locker option.
Im glad i re-earthed this thread . You guys can thank me later.

While ya there give him one for me, for the one that goes into a gv!

[joeblow]

Hang on, hang on. No need to go getting on knees.

1L/LJ/Grand Vitara will virtually be all very similar funnily enough. At the moment I have a working early model rear Vit on the shelf (after being tested in the yellow thing). The Sierra rear has been drawn up and ready for prototyping. This will also be the base for the previously mentioned vehicles. Trust me, when the paperwork and approval are complete, and I can show images, it will all make sense.

[Zook_Fan]

Anything for a NGV?

[kenn]

Tanshi, I think this thing will go fine in your comp car.
As for the NGV that might require my diff being pulled out to have a look.

[tanshi]

Cool let me know how things progress.
