Apologies ‘snippeting/quoting’ here John Mate!
As per this thread start and top members usage needs, I so wished too for an easier +/- couple of wires to connect activation too on the family touring/hybrid bushpig wagon truckster.
It is honestly now hopeful as you mention that elecy locking has reduced from 1/2 < > 1/8th of a spin but let’s still equate that up steep hairpin tracks, not straight line beaches and or bull dust deep long power stretching pits.
Please do correct me if late wrong calculations Brother[emoji106]
33” say legal tyre = 838mm diameter.
Circumference = 2,633mm.
Now a much better designed 1/8th of rotation for lock = 329mm travel.
As far as I nuffy understand we need to at least double that to (658mm) for a hairpin on/off/on rollback hairpin sometimes needed gnarly climbing turns.
Absolute bonus for newage elecy systems outback would be zero atmospheric diff intake such as salts etc...[emoji106][emoji106]

Awesome info thanks too Trevor Mate!
Hang on to those original lockers there, I hear the competition blokes prefer the oldest sets for slightly greater internal abuse strength preferred than new sets.
ARB appear to have fixed the Oring issue somewhat these days with a new Quad Oring set found supplied on my last two installs.
They’re basically still a ring but more of a square profile with two raised edges on each seating side.
This creates a dual seal on each side of the journal hole now so hopefully we’ll get twice as long between lugging out these bloody heavy diffs again as you kindly mention[emoji23]
Do have to be super careful too with these new Quad Orings installation as they are fiddly little buggers to ensure they are not twisted or leaning. Use some oil to carefully/lightly twist the seal housing over the journal too.
Fingers crossed I’ve got it right hopefully [emoji1696]
EDIT: Found a replacement set of the new style Quad Orings online if ever needed:

The ARB ones supplied here were more of a ‘tan/brown’ colour though and felt a lot more rigid than a standard old type ‘black’ rubber Oring if that makes sense.
What you’ll see in my picture above is the oil used to assist installation squeezing out between the journal seal [emoji106]
