Where to get/buy centre diff lock

Hey all,
didn't really know where to post this but where am I supposed to get my hands on a centre diff lock for an L series, would love the advantage of a locked centre diff but am unsure how to obtain one.

Cheers in advance,
Lincoln

L series centre diffs are locked when you put them in 4wd...

Is this for all L series or just some?

You need to find an elusive L series AWD gearbox that comes with the locking centre diff. You have full time FRONT wheel drive with the advantage of being able to select 4wd when you want it. Most small two wheel drive vehicles don't have a 4wd option... The only advantage to the locked centre for offroading is the fact that you have AWD on road that gives you the better "general every day driving" handling

The PT4wd gearboxes don't have a centre diff - just an engaging mechanism that locks the rear end to the drive to the front end, thus the power is shared front and rear.

I'm sure this is for the RXII coupe that australia didn't get - an awesome looking subi in the L series line up. The roots of the WRX in my opinion. Wish I had one, just don't have the $$$$s to import one as they're rarer than rocking horse sh!t in oz...

L Series AWD!!!!! That's awesome would love to find one of these, and those RXII Coupe's look sweet as, too bad they didn't send em over here.

U could import one or make an ej hybrid

You mean L series gearbox casing, EJ internals with matching centre diff housing and L series low range?

Would be a good alternative with a bit of work...
