Daryl,

Do you think that the Peloquin locking LSD would be a good upgrade for a
Syncro without the factory locker?  Does it directly replace the vw factory
locker diff or could I use aftermarket parts for the switch, actuator ect.
I don't have any of the factory locker parts.  No switch, no panel, no
vacuum reservoir.  I'm hoping the Peloquin locker setup would be an easier
way to go than a stock retrofit.

Of course this also leads me to ask if it would be more affordable to
install the Peloquin locking LSD in a front diff than to use the factory
locking diff and vw factory parts?

Locking LSD front and rear, wow.

89 Syncro, no lockers :-(
