Re: "The Eaton Axle Blues!"

Some HO52 rears had the deflection adjuster...correct.The lockers aren`t made anymore for these.You`ll have to find an axle with it or adapt the 14-bolt unit.It gets expensive.Lockers run around $500,used 14-bolt axles,cut & dressed,I`d do carrier/pinion bearings,and set-up cost if you don`t do rears...prolly around $800-1,000.
Try to find a used HO52 with "No-Spin"(locker) or look for a 14-bolt w/locker installed,for your cheapest route.
