Tim posted a picture of the detroit locker. Here is a 14 bolt ARB locker. Like Tim says, it has a dedicated case. If you don't want to have to hassle with machining .250 off the axleshafts (which you dont have to with the detroit) you wont want to even consider retrofitting a 14 bolt ARB to the Eaton. If you search the pirate there is a picture of one machine shop that fit an ARB to a Eaton. You have to machine the carrier bearing surfaces down and in toward CL and machine a new ring gear surface, then new holes for the eaton ring gear since they are completely different from the 14 bolt.
