>Hi Derek,

>short answer, ALL locker/servo components are same in both ends. Remember,
>SDP designed the system NOT VW ;).

>My front locker was built from a dead trans rear locker. I machined the case
>myself. You keep your old front R&P however, just swap the ring from
>non-locker to locker carrier, and set it up properly :(.
>
>Control panel on dash is now from Audi Quattro, nicer, single dial to twist,
>one click for rear, two clicks for both, way better made valve body, same
>LEDs to light up (I use Audi centre diff as front locker LED), and I got a
>bonus cigarette lighter out of the deal. Low profile, fits/looks nice under
>the dash lip, after a bit of carving (of Audi panel). Extra vac. line was
>also taken from Audi.
