No problemo Gerrit, ek sal dan ook met Koos Best, Pierre Lombard, Johan Pille Lombard,Donald Fisher en Thys vd Merwe reel en kyk of hul dit kan maak, soos ek jou verstaan moet dit die 23 Julie wees ? Ons moet Koos daar hê met sy D3 sodat hy my help met my GQ om jul manne met die 4.5 en 4.8 Patrols uittesleep.

Altyd goed om te weet hulp is naby. Miskien moet ek my kollega met sy Frod bakkie saamnooi sodat julle ten minste bietjie werk sal hê om te doen

I've done some surfing on the internet and found a place in Alberton that supply solenoids at a reasonable price.
The fittings that they supply is the type where you press the vacuum pipe inside of it.
I took 6mm fittings but it is too small, you need 8mm fittings (outside diameter of the vacuum pipe).
I then got fittings from Media Hydraulics in Pta where the pipe fits over the fitting.

I took the faulty solenoid out of the original holder and fitted the new solenoid with 2 screws on the outside of the holder.
I replaced one of the short vacuum pipes between the solenoid and the Y-junction on the vacuum supply side with a longer pipe.
The pipe from the diff was long enough to reuse.

I paid just under R350.00 for the solenoid and fittings and another R28.00 for Media's fittings.

So far the difflock is working well.

Details for solenoid and supplier:

2/2 way brass solenoid valve ¼” connection with 2mm orifice.
Normally closed 12V. The valve would open if solenoid is activated.
