Pat,
It would be a simple switch. Just go out to your favorite
previously owned Triumph or British car parts supplier (read wrecking
yard)Buy a whole rear axle assy. and replace the one in your car with
the locker. The cost will be around $150 - $200. The other method
is to get the rear "pumpkin" (that's the gear assembly, take it
to a rear end specialist and have him replace the "locker pumpkin"
with the standard unit. It will cost about the same (depending on
who you deal with) to a tad more pricey.
BTW the first method gives you an extra rear end with a locker
that racers and autocrossers will pay reasonably big bucks for, or
you'll have a back-up!
TTFN,
Greg
