    So I've decided on the Aussie locker and was trying to figure out how many splines on my axles. I looked through the tech section where it says the splines changed from 10 to 19 in the early sixties. Any way to tell without pulling the axles? I do know they were replaced with Summers Bros. 1 piece axles not long before I bought it if that helps (perhaps they make only 19 spline, I don't know). Thanks

    Pulling the shafts is probably the only way to tell for sure. Axles get swapped around over a 50 year period. Maybe pull the cover and try to get a count from there?

    My ’60 has 19 splines, but yea it’s probably best to look for yourself and make sure.
