[Fot] Fw: Detroit Locker

[Bob Kramer]

I have a big TR Detroit Locker carrier assembly with the ring gear flange
sheared off, it could be very useful for creating repro's.

I suspect that the dog cups, dog gears, springs and spline carriers could get
expensive to make. OTOH there may be off the shelf current parts that would
work if just the axle spline carrier was produced to fit our car.

I'm with Bob. I'd be worried about legal matters.

certain TR4 to come out of hibernation this year. The plan is the 2014 Solo
Nats in G Prepared.
