Its for a future project with an aluminium housing so no point in cutting corners on the centre.....your only going to see it if you bend over.....not sure what motor but possible late model Ford stating that they are 500hp (but not sure what to believe)

I have no probs with driving a locker on the street.
I am about to get power steer put on my '60 Ponti though.
I think it's just cause I am getting soft!!
But I have had the locker for about 10 years with no dramas.
It has copped plenty of grief with my left foot.

I ended up going with Tru trac....should be on its way from Strange in next week or so....they were waiting on polished housings....my new housing and axles arrived this week from Victoria....just need to source brakes but no hurry.
