Rubi locker parts????
So I've been hunting for parts to repair my rubi locker, is there any parts suppliers for them? I'm looking specifically for the magnetic lock actuator. They replaced mine and gave me the old one am I'm looking into repairing it. Or are there other mods that can be done to it?
Thanks
Thanks

Well that's bad news. I bought a front 44 used out of a rubi n when I opened the diff I found this
Pulled it all apart n cleaned it but haven't had a chance to hook a battery up to it n see if it works

I'll keep it to myself for now. Or at least until im able to see If it works. I was told he broke a ujoint and was upgrading the whole axle. Clearly the diff has never been opened nor the fluid changed. I don't think he knew cause I don't think he does his own maintenance so....

well that sucks man, hope all is good for you, as well it sucks that the rubi lockers can't be rebuilt :( but in my search they seem to have installed the lockers in everything from fords, to Toyota and everything in between. But nobody seems to have parts either :(. I've been reading about people installing shims into the lockers to make them work, but I'm not sure about that, any key done that yet? How did it work for you? It's starting to look like I might need to go that way, unless their is a supply of broken lockers ( different way the mine) out there!

Or perhaps you have read several post of mine and people like me SAYING a shim would work if somebody could figure it out?
I am more than willing to do it if somebody can show my HOW.
Do you have any links?
Thanks!
