Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted June 5, 2017 This thread is still here ?? I took the third member apart.it has 5.14s and a mini spool 31 spline .i will not be using those gears ,that motor would be turning 7 grand on the free way. I cleaned the aluminum pinnion support ,looks like new .It has billet steel caps ,like to never found a socket to fit in to remove the bolts.I glass beaded the N case ,it is spotless ,i blew it out well and washed it out with acetone. Masked it off an sprayed it with dtm epoxy ,this is like a plastic coating when cured ,i will let it cure for ...ah who am i kidding ,it will probably set a couple of months before i get back to it :( I still have to order the Detroit locker and a set of 3.50 gears 1 SWPruett reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted June 5, 2017 That pinion support looks huge against the red primer 1 SWPruett reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted June 5, 2017 Good golly that looks nice! Nothing like freshly blasted parts. Ya that pinion support looks massive. Gotta be because of the color contrast and it's round. Heck of a job Jim. Did you work thru the night??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted June 5, 2017 Heeeeck no ,when the lights go out so do i . only took a few minutes to glass bead and primer ,took more time to mask it off . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted June 6, 2017 I've used a lathe to turn down the O.D. on more than one socket for it to fit in a tight spot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted June 6, 2017 I dug out the rear housing this morning . I have narrowed this one to the 65-66 width ,that gives me an extra inch on each side ,the 245 60 BFGs should have plenty of room. I had glass beaded this one sometime ago ,looks like it needs a little touch up. I will have to get new 31 slpine axles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted June 9, 2017 I am going to have the rear housing powder coated. We have been having them done in a hammer tone ,that realy looks nice with black leafs .it will be the same as my Helwig sway bar . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
