Hey guys just wondering if anyone has fitted cable lockers in their 40 and if yes would love to see a pic of where you mounted the levers etc. I managed to score a set that were on a 61 that I bought for the 12ht!

I'm installing a set in my 45 but I haven't run the cables in the cab yet. @roma042987 has installed one in his 40 and a set in Tucker's 40.
BTW I have also installed a 12HT in my 45 and Roma will be installing one in his 40 as well.

Nice one! I'm going to get the 12ht in and running first then tackle the lockers down the track. Did you use the complete housing on the front? Was trying to research if the centre will work in the 40 housing
somewhat depends on what year 40 front axle you have. the center will fit in all years but if you have an early axle with drum brakes and coarse spline axle or ball and claw you will not want to use those. If its a disk axle already you will use the third member and the longer splined axle shaft only. you will need to clearance the housing for the actuator. I actually used an 80 elocker third and converted it to cable operation with an aftermarket kit so I didn't use the factory 60 series controls. The 60 series will work just as well

Awesome mate thanks for the info!

Love those 45's
Who did you use for the actuator I want to go the same thing. Tnx
The 80 series rear locker can be converted to pneumatic operation rather inexpensively. Costs about 40 bucks. Not sure about the front 8" diff. I used a 80 series rear diff lock in mine and it's been converted to pneumatic.

What does it look like pics if possible. Mine will be 80's units also.

Where did you pick up this unite from who.
My build thread has pics. There is a thread on the conversion in the 80s section. I even wired up the engaged switch to tell me when it's engaged. I wish I used the next size bigger actuator, it's pretty slow in its activation. The actuators are stupid cheap. Some day I'll put a bigger actuator in. But since it's the rear, I leave it engaged on the trail the whole time anyway. The front diff is arb. So it made sense to convert the rear to pneumatic.

This is my cable mount location. I used the 70 series cables, levers and bracket.
Nice setup... I'd prefer to have the 70-series levers. I'm trying to figure out how to mount my 60-series levers.
here is the non oem locker mechanism the push/pull knob takes up very little space

Yep- get custom cables from Tom here:
Engineered Components Inc.
How I set up my cables starts midway down this:
84 bj46 long term maintenance, repair and upgrade- making it mine.
Above I n the cab between the seats
Same spot underneath
Hand levers
Going to modified oem linkage.

@47coeman im using a stock 70 series actuator. I don't know anyone right now that has one. You might try EBI in Canada or @joekatana here on mud.
