As per title, if anyone was following my install write up a few months ago (http://hiluxsurf.co.uk/showthread.php?t=77824) here the result of the chinese locker.
I dropped it out to address an air leak and was only planning to replace seals thinking one had gone dodgy, then found the housing to be cracked
Not worth putting it back in as its only going to take another quick shock load and poof, cracked all the way through in the middle of a river while 4wding, so out it comes and back to open carrier till I can pick up a proper ARB locker.
Was fun to see what the cheap locker would do but sad to see the results, very poor casting and off center (had to leave fair amount of backlash in it because of this) and its only been used for about 5 trips behind my 2.8 so surprised it failed so easily. (theres 4 cracks around it not just the one by the way)
I learnt my lesson on cheap lockers the hard way so I hope this help someone else decide what to purchase for their surf, enjoy my missery
