In short, it's near impossible to measure it without a dedicated test rig. The spool would need to be loaded up to various torques, held against the output shafts, then the torque resistance between both shafts measured by independently rotating them...

So if we did want to measure the minimum torque value to reach maximum lock, how would you go about that?

Re:

Thanks for the reply Gareth. So millrats post is right then? Is there a way of actually measuring it? I would presume you would have to put a given amount of torque into the diff and somehow rig a torque meter up to the output shafts.

Re:

A question; the "percentage lock" is not an accurate method to describe the amount of resistance as "percentage lock" relates to the engine power/torque. Therefore, isn't stating the breakaway torque a better measurement? I ask this because as I understand it, 70% lock equals a breakaway torque of ...

OK, thanks for the resistors etc FlappySocks, I recieved them last week. I finally had chance to fit them, as your instructions explained. Unfortunatly, after trying both swapping the wires round and twiddling with the potentiometer. I had no movment on the tacho.
Any ideas?
