diff lock acuator pipes-help please
Can any one help me please?
When i striped my silka down last summer i didnt write down which way round the pipes go on the acuators (back and front)ive just bolted the engine and box back in this afternoon, would be nice to be able to do all the pipework etc at once.
Cheers all

I just use the trial and error method, and swap the pipes over if it's the wrong way around. Still works, but the button action is reversed.

I can tell you that the rear one is blue pipe to black actuator cover, the other one (white?) is on the blue body.
i.e. blue NOT to blue.
Front would be similar I'd guess and you'll know if the front is locked all right!
Hope this helps.

C'mon Andrew where's the diagram for the front one? I'd already told him how to do the rear

Thats all I got Im afraid. Just looked up ETKA to see if there was colour coding mentioned but there isnt. Cant find a reference to the pipes in the manual
