Michael,
The front end of the gearbox is that same so there is no difference in the fitting but you will have to procure all the parts that normally exist on a Syncro with a diff lock – vacuum tapping off the manifold, vacuum reservoir and plumbing, plus the control panel and “switch” (actually a vacuum valve) for the front.
The decoupler with a needle roller is better than the plain bush variety.

decoupler
I know it's probable been discussed before, but can I
install a decoupler on my NON rear diff lock syncro.I have
an aggressive VC and would feel more comfortable disengaging it when it's not
required.If so which of the two versions are better suited, the German or
American models.

Michael,
Your choice. The end result is much the same. There is a case for utilizing the better handling and braking characteristics that is experienced with an aggressive VC but eventually it’s your call.

Hi Les.
Might be cheaper to buy a new VC?

Michael,
A good kit will come with the vacuum servo, lots of small diameter nylon vac tube and a vac valve that mounts on the front control panel.
If you are fitting it to a Syncro that never had a diff lock fitted, you have to source the vac supply, vac reservoir and the control panel that fits on the dash. The decoupler valve (“switch”) usually goes in the middle position.

Decoupler comes as a complete unit, so all you have to do is change the nose cone and install the tubes and switches which are part of the decoupler unit. It is quite easy, but we will add a manual instruction off course as well.
The deposit is for the old nose cone that we need to get back to get new decouplers manufactured. If you send the nose cone back to us, please sign the parcel as "example" without any value; otherwhise we´ll get in trouble with customs here in germany.

Also the exchange rate of the $OZ with $US makes it very attractive at the moment.
