That is a good deal and someone should snag them for $400 for the pair. I would, but I'm a bit tied up at the moment.
minor mods for the housing and you'll need some custom axles with an extended inner spline to fit the e-locker.

They are also designed for full floater axles and may be able to be used in a semifloat configuration, but I am not sure. These would be cool for someone who was building a FF rear axle, or someone who owns an FZJ80 and wants to add and e-locker to the rear.
You can definitely do it on a 40 front axle. PO was nice enough to install for me !
This is true.
The wiring is not intuitive but it is very doable. If you get it I will help you with the wiring.

I emailed him we will see if they are still available.

Things you must have/do to run an 80 factory E-locker in a 40/60:
you must have a full float axle(all fronts, very few rears in the US)
you must notch the housing(and do a clean enough job for it to seal afterwards)
you must get a custom inner axle shaft with an extra long splined section(a couple vendors sell these)
locker control/wiring is complicated-ish(as Ed mentioned) It is not an on/off switch sort of thing.
I think that's a very fair price for those diffs, but it is a lot of hassle to fit them in a non-FZJ80-locker-axle-housing compared to using a new Harrop ELocker or ARB. You could be close to the cost of a Harrop/ARB by the time you buy the custom axle shaft and go through the pain and suffering costs of grinding the housing.

maybe a group buy or does anyone know when they do promotions? They're quite bit more than ARB lockers... (maybe the price is in AUD!?!- that would help!)

We just ordered a pair to be installed in a 200 series in a few weeks. Expect a writeup.

No ARB list?!?!
Is this a fair comparison?!?!
He never emailed me back. I emailed him again from a non-corporate address. We will see.
I think I will save for ARB.
I e-mailed him before you did as well and haven't heard back. I will be in b-more tonight and if he gets in touch with you and feel confident I could possibly save you a trip. Sounds from above I will to go either harrop or arb for my locker....some day.
Ya I'm not really in the market but it's a good price.
I'll let you know if he contacts me.

There are your ARBs right there, plus profit in the other parts. Might even be able to get the price down a bit.

You'll pay that much for the Harrops alone.
Again, if this were a few months in the future, I'd be all over that.

I don't know the guy's name from the club who wanted some gratuitous welding done on his frame, however this came up on mud and maybe it's of value to him.
