I think the crosspin is the same size. It doesn't matter, though, because you need parts off an open carrier. Unless they've changed the Lockright, you need the thrust washers from behind the side gears.

No worries. If he won't take the time to spell it out, you don't have to take the time to answer his question.
Too right. The instructions, which no one actually reads, indicates that you need to remove the thrust washers from behind the side gears and put them behind the drivers on your locker. If you don't have them, you need to get a set either from a dealer, or from a company which deals in Dana/Spicer parts.

will the thrust washers from the limited slip work?

Maybe, maybe not. Why risk it? If the washers are wrong the locker blows up. Been there done that.

No way,might cause some weird wear on the housing though.

If you don't have the thrust washers in the driven gears in the locker will sit too far apart. The crosspin doesn't have enough throw on the ramps to reach full gear tooth engagement. This is why a gap checking tool is included with the locker- too much gap equals locker failure.

How do you figure that? Ever looked at the way a drop in locker functions?
