Went in looking for some selectable lockers for the salad axle toy and was told that an ifs hub would work since i was swapping the inner gear with Longfields chromo spliner. Well it all bolted together except for one thing, the frooken outer c clip. The housing is different, barely, just a little, maybe. I'm I seeing things? . i'll just have to run it with out i guess. Hopefully the inner c clip will keep the birf from imploding.

The ifs hub is a different spline count...

Yes, and that's the only thing that's different. The SA's are 30 spline I think and the IFS ones are 27 (IIRC). If you swap the chunk out of the middle, the rest of the lockout is exactly the same.
If you swapped that splined gear chunk out there should be no reason why you can't get that outter c-clip on... or at least, it's not because the hubs are different.
This is the way I remember it from when I had both apart sitting side-by-side.

No you are totaly correct on the 27 splines matt...

The back of the hub body is resest more on the IFS hub then the solid axle hub. so thats why the birf doesn't stick out far enough to get the clip on.
What mark said is correct. I swapped bobby;s chromo gear into the IFS hub and it all bolted on like normal. The only difference was an 1/8 " of material in the way of the firkin c-clip. I relayed this info to Mr. Longfield and we came to the mutual agreement to run setup as long as possible. LOL I am concerned with the possiblity of the entire axle/birfield assembly floating in and out, causing excessive leakage at the axle seal and or destruction of the internal parts
