You don't need to go as far as soldering. All I did was just remove the diff balls and tighten the diff back up. Voila, locked diff!

BTW, in the same place you put those pins I was thinking about filling that whole cavity up with JB weld. That would accomplish the same thing and be easier to do. But is looked diffs really necessary for drifting? I mean do they really help that much?

Do you know how to take it apart? I've looked at it a few times and can't figure out how to get it apart or anything.
