I just pulled the lockrite out of my 5.62 rear, and there was only one pin?   The two short pins weren't used???

WTF?  was someone silly?  I have never used a lockrite, and I won't be using this one... but I was going to install it in my 5.12's to sell...     I don't have extra pins..   what am I missing here???   I guess whoever buys the 3rd's will probably have pins from their current gears..

This supposedly came from Sky at one point, but I don't know if he built it, or just bought and sold it..  there was definately just one pin in it though..


Another thing......  are the 5.62 R&P's still available? My rear pinion has a fair amount of wear, and if I ever get an ARB and turn this thing back into a on road/off road buggy, instead of a trail only rig, I would want to put fresh R&P in the rear.. the front is fine (of course)

Qauddawg,

Mine had the pins in it when it came.If you want to sell the gears,I'll give you the 2 short pins from my stock set-up

Your lockright came with the pinion pins? OR did you buy a third that was locked? I forgot..

If you have the two short pins, I could sure use them to make the 3rd's I have more complete for selling..

Just let me know what you want for them...  I can source the roll pins (retainers)


I have seen pictures of other lockrights that only have the one pin, but they were designed for carriers that only had one pinion pin hole..     I guess it had been used that way for a while, the pin that IS there isn't excessively worn, although you can tell it's seen some use...

Thanks Tom...    let's be seeing some pics of that front bumper!!!

Quaddawg,

I said that I'd give them to ya.....FREE.... ;)Just pay the shipping

You can buy a rebuild kit at:
http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=egnsearch.asp&N=400018+1002
for $10.99

wrong pins, he is missing the two large drive pins(short)allmost the size of your finger.

Yeah, I am talking about the pinion pins, not the little pins that go between the halves of the lockright.. I should have been more clear.


It's hard to believe they ran it that way... but a lot of Lockrites and rear carriers only HAVE one pin... so I guess it isn't THAT bad... (sure looks bad to me... LOL)

Quaddawg,

Well, yeah then.... hell yeah, I'll take them.. it will make a more complete set up, and be more attractive to the bidders that way.. They should be on Ebay by next week....

Tom, I will PM you my address... should be about a buck or two to send the first class mail, make sure you tape them to some cardboard or something they won't bust out of..    thanks AGAIN!

Don't ge so hasty about Ebay now.  So, these need a rebuild kit to make them complete?  Or just the parts being sent to you?  Or is this basically the same thing?

Been thinking about a lock rite for awhile.  Pluses/minuses on the road?  I expect compromises versus a big $ ARB.

Thanks.

I have never run one...   I opted for a mini-spool from the get go on this little rig

When I bought a set of 5.62 3rd's the rear had a lockright installed (with one pin through the locker) it had obiously been run that way..


SO, when I pull my 5.12's (which are in fine shape by the way) I am going to pull the mini-spool out and put it in my 5.62's... and then I was going to install the lockrite in the 5.12 rear, and sell them as a set..... worth more that way..

So many people wanted either the locker, or the front, or the rear... that I decided the easiest way was to just put them on the bay, and let the high bidder win, fair for everyone.. The last set of 5.12's that came with a locker (not installed) went well over $400.00... so I am expecting somewhere between $300-425 out of them on the Bay, with the locker installed, or at least included.. I still have the original spiders and side gears too...


My first objective is to get my 5.62's set up and installed.. but once I get around to selling the 5.12's all they will need is the backlash and carrier bearing preload set... the pinion depth and pinion bearing preload will still be fine..   hell, I might even install and set up the Lockrite.. it's really not that big a deal... but if it were me, I would check it anyway, so I assumed whoever bought the 3rd's would go over them before installing them anyway... (I would.....)


I will post on the "garage sale" forum when they are actually listed...
