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 !
 
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.
 
My vote is for ARB's, especially if you already have onboard air.

Rear:
OEM E-locker $250
FF brackets: $200
Custom chromo axles: $450-$700
Spindles, hubs, rotors and bearings and seals: $200
Electrical parts: $50
Labor/Time: ?
Total: at least $1400 -ish

Front:
OEM E-locker: $250
Custom Axle shafts (with birfs) $700ish
Labor/Time:
Total: $1000?

Total: $2200-$3000 -ish

Harrop Lockers (x2): $3250 (free shipping?)
Labor to install: $400
Total: $3700 -ish

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.
