I've since tried this on my MK6 and it does seem to work.

I've been looking for a few months, can find them in some of their lists, but so far have not found anyone who can quote or sell me one....
Maybe it might be better to find out which other vehicles had Dana 60 locking diffs originally and then go looking at wreckers....
I've not been successful finding any cross reference yet.

And also No. of splines. I am interested in buying 1 from you, and would convert to disc brake if that is what is available. Cheers.
