Hi Derek/Syncronauts,

short answer, ALL locker/servo components are same in both ends. Remember,
SDP designed the system NOT VW ;).

My front locker was built from a dead trans rear locker. I machined the case
myself. You keep your old front R&P however, just swap the ring from
non-locker to locker carrier, and set it up properly :(.  Indicator switch
wiring is tied up to bottom of the chassis, nothing electrical needed.

Control panel on dash is now from Audi Quattro, nicer, single dial to twist,
one click for rear, two clicks for both, way better made valve body, same
LEDs to light up (I use Audi centre diff as front locker LED), and I got a
bonus cigarette lighter out of the deal.  Easier getting on/off the lockers
when turning in soggy cramped places. Low profile, fits/looks nice under the
dash lip, after a bit of carving (of Audi panel). Extra vac. line was also
taken from Audi.

bye, Tim
