This really sux.
8" Ford axles are essentially 28 spline small bearing 9" axles and they do interchange. Plenty of quality axles for them.
Happy birthday Dude!
I got one of these for the skewl and it is by far the best bead roller I have ever used.
Yep. Thankfully you have some of the best builders and designers here to help you.
Yes. See above diagrams.
This make it easier for you? Also what do you mean by latitude?? All other rules do NOT apply to a CV/double cardon shaft completely different...
Ok so how big are those joints at the front? how are they mounted, tab on both sides or just the outsides? When you cycle the suspension does that...
Ok, I'll be nice this time...... My response was to the guy suggesting that a CV driveshaft would fix the problem. With CV driveshaft you have to...
In order for this to work without vibrations you have to point the pinion at the transmission.
Such a sad day. The only insurance guy I ever liked. My condolences to the family and friends. Oh and BobK, if you are reading this, I am not...
Heart breaking. RIP my Friend.
Nope. The shear point of a grade 8 bolt is much higher than a the "stretch" point of a grade 5, in other words grade 5 will stretch, snap and be...
Or your Maytag?
You'd be surprised at how flat that piece will get when you clamp and weld it down. Put a big ol' spot weld at the ends of those beads and it will...
You can fix that with a propane torch by applying heat to the indicated areas, or you could just start welding the panel down and forcing it flat...
Not enough to matter, a few thousandths at best. I've done a bunch of em that way and had no trouble getting things back together.
Trans looks great! But as a Hihg Skewl Sohp Teachor I'd give you a Zero for the day if I catch you leaving the key in the chuck. Hang it on a...
Not much to add to the thread but your I've used your signature quite a bit out on the Jeep trails haha! "Jesus, If I'd known he was gonna catch...
Its probably not going to be just 2" shorter, it may not have the same contours or shape on the edge.
Sure, but I can save us both some time and money..... Its not worth whatever they are asking for it. I've made 5 trips down there so far and...
I use Thoriated and a Miller but that is all I use for just about everything. If the weld needs to be tiny I undercut the tungsten when I sharpen it.
49 Ford Coupe, long tulip panel, short roof, swing away door handles. 50 grill, it wraps around the fenders and has the heavy "platforms" with...
FYI, sign material is a semi-hard aluminum, it will be hard to bend, fairly brittle and may crack when you add breaks. Not trying to be a smart...
No way I'd do floors and firewall out of aluminum. For the record, I did Drag Race interiors for 20 years or so and still do a few here and there....
We all have "group" memories of Larry, things he posted, things he liked, that sort of thing. The quoted posts are personal memories of Larry,...
That's bad juju if Motive now owns Richmond, my trials and tribulations with Motive gear have reached near biblical in scale. Broke 2 of em last...
Nope, no Studes here. Ignore that picture to the left.
As a crawler suspension that's still sux. Needs more angle on the top bars as the others have said or you can add angle to the bottom bars in...
Hope you have good insurance...... Luv Ya Dude, kick it's ass!
