Hi,
I'm setting up a 3.70 diff and I had a Detriot Locker kicking around, so I 
figured I should use it as a posi. In any case, my TR6 axles seem to bottom out 
in the Detroit Locker. Note: I had to split the locker (which was held together 
with a couple of bolts) so that I could install the ring gear and wouldn't you 
know it - there was enough spring tension in device to pop open. So, I had to 
figure out how to re-assemble it. Maybe I goofed in the re-assembly.

I bought the Locker a long time ago from a guy named Pancho from the west 
coast. He pulled the part from a Devin Tr3 that he had been vintage racing but 
he was returning the car to street trim.
The question is: I know that Quaifes have a center "button" that you can leave 
out or else the TR6 axles bottom - Does the Locker has a similar piece that 
needs to be there for TR3's but not TR6?
I'd appreciate any advice!!
Right now, I'm pulling one of my Quaifes apart so I can install the 3.70 gear 
on that, but I'd rather have the diffs all rady to just pop in and NOT have to 
pull the carrier and pinion if I need a gear change!!

MA (VRG next weekend). Psyched!!
