does anyone have any pictures of there arb air locker installed and what size to drill the hole for the air line i got one used and have no directions.
 
Ok, I have a Ford, but here are what my directions say:

4.3 Drilling and Tapping the Bulkhead Port

A port must be drilled and tapped through the differential housing to allow the seal housing tube through the housing to connect with the air line from the air compressor.

1. mark a spot for the bulkhead port on the right hand (seal housing) side toward the top of the differential housing that is in an area that will be well clear of the ring gear, the differential, and any other obstructions that may snag the seal housing tube.

2. Cover the drive pinion and axle tube areas with a rag to protect them from metal filings.

3. Drill through the housing swuare to the houside surface using an 11.2mm [7/16] drill.

4. Tap the hose from the outside using a ¼” NPT tapered pipe thread tap

5. Remove any sharp edges from the hole that may chip-ff and fall into the housing.

6. Very carefully remove rags and inspect with a service light inside the housing to insure no metal filings are left behind.


Hope that helps
 
Find your local ARB dealer and get the bulkhead fitting. they are a real pain in the butt to put in but can be done with patience. Did it come with a new air ring with the copper tubing on it? It's real easy to break the copper at the ring. ask me how i know. I put one in my Jeep's Dana 44.
If you need the IOM i can scan mine, it might help you out if ya need the help.

I have got pictures of an ARB installed in a D80 and D60 HERE of course that was a while ago and I can't rember the size of the hole.

You can always e-mail your question HERE as well.

Or contact ARB directly by phone at:
Tel: (425) 264 1391
Toll Free: (866) 293-9078

Or contact your nearest dealer using THIS and ask them

Here is the install guide for a Dana 44 but i'm sure it should pretty much apply to the 60 as well.

Ok so it's too big to attach here. If you need it PM me with your email and i'll send it to you.
