I talked to Eaton today and they actually laughed when I told him the make and model car, well, more like chuckled.
I really need to get a diff and tear it apart to see what I would have to work with. I can't imagine the ring gear is larger than 7 inches and the carrier has got to be very narrow.
Just doing a quick materials cost to machine up a custom carrier and purchase a locking mechanism it is at $1,200.00. P20 is quite expensive so I am hoping that the carrier is much smaller that I am thinking, (less material).
The other option is to design a locking mechanism that will work with the Benz carrier. Until I get one to look at I'm just spinning my wheels thinking of ways to approach the task, if it is a go that is.
Either way, unless it turns out to be a minor massage to fit an off the shelf locking whatever, in the 123 diff, the cost will be at least $1,200.00 to do it.
Still interested?
