Correct me if I'm wrong, but >86.5MY, 5 spd trannies did not have internal centering. This unit does...
I'll try to get a pic up tonite.

Ok, so I tore down the tranny I was planning to use for the LSD in my 99. Now, according to the s/n on the side of the box, it should be an 86-87 model, but there is a twist. It has a hydraulic front mount type front cover and when I pulled it, it has a bearing supporting the lower chain sprocket th...

Hi Dennis!
I thought this was you! I mailed a check for the balance ($351.something) saturday and hope to be up soon, the next week or two. I'll be in touch diectly as soon as I get my work schedule updated.
Thanks for the pump info!

Any idea what vehicles us a "gear type fuel pump"??

With the addition of the new Quaife, I think it's time to install a tranny oil cooler. The lines will be custom (easy) and the cooler can be an old 900 oil cooler (easy), but what to use for the pump? What has been used in the past? Any thoughts?

OK, as long as we are on this thread, I have found my new donor "race" gearbox. It's a 55602. A coupla years ago, the tech at the now-defunct local dealership gave me two factory rebuilt boxes that were returned for warranty issues. I sold one to Dan McDonald ( a mistake in retrospect, but...

What do you think of welding a panel of aluminum between the rt bearing cap assy and the side access cover? Weld it right to the stiffening ribs. This would give an effective increase of an inch or so in the area that needs it most while adding minimal weight... And/Or, how about directly welding/bo...

That cradle is interesting, but I can't see how it would be much of an improvement over a steel Diff cover. The strength should added forward of the diff bearings, particularly on the rt side of the case. Maybe weld an aluminum plate to the ribs between the diff cap and side cover?? I may actually t...

Geoff;
Do you have the link to their site?

Thanks for the help on this Luke!
How long did it take for you get your flares? I'd like to have them by early June so I can have them mounted in time for the Freezeout Hillclimb. If I can have the car ready to race by this event in mid-June, I'll have 6 weeks to tune the car for the SOC in August...

So what, we have interest in 4-6 sets? Should we try to move forward on this? Maybe cross-post to some other forums?
I want to get moving on this in the next couple of months...

Who's Candee and do you have a picture???

That's about the number I remember. Was there any other payment option? CC? Maybe with a large enough order he'd join paypal. With the Quaife group buy, one guy used his CC to pay for it all and we are each paying him. It would be nice to get 5-10 sets. It would aso be good to get a set to sacrifice...

We'd have to figure out payment and all that. I was trying to convince him to setup a paypal account but he didnt seem to want to do it. How did you pay him last time? How expensive was the set you have, less shipping? I have to finish paying for the 2 LSD's I ordered, so I can do flares or Wilwood...

So, after seeing the pics of Luke's flares, I've decided I really need a set on my Hillclimber, Frankensaab. They would help the 0" offset 7" wheels I use not look so goofy.
Any interest in a group buy? I really want a set on the car before the Con in August...
