Hi guys. I am after a front auto locker for my vitara. I have decided until I can afford a rear air locker that I would instead go the cheaper option and get an auto locker for the front. Im after second hand preferably because I am on a super tight budget.
I also considered welding it instead but kinda wanted to do it at least half properly...
I have been told it is the same centre as the rear of a sierra, but not sure how accurate that is? Ive got no idea about diffs so not sure if ratio of my factory diffs make a difference to an auto locker? But its got factory diffs front and back.

Im located Armidale NSW but I am happy to pick up anywhere between Armidale and Sydney (just cant pick up straight away if it is too far away :P)

Thanks guys.

I've got a lockright 1510 auto locker sitting here. Supposed to go in a Sierra but I was running it in the rear of my vit. Currently have the same one in my front. To run one in the front you will need a cross pin block from a sierra as far as I know, apparently you can run them without one but I haven't tried personally. Auto locked front may also cause the front housing made out of glass to explode more quickly. Ratio wouldn't make a difference. Side gears would if using a locker with couplers, but the 1510 reuses stock side gears :). I'm in Sydney

Probably $100, used it for one trip then took it back out, also comes with a set of shims that I didn't use
