That's where SUTTON is worth his weight in gold -- and he's not svelte! LOL



He talks to me before I go out - and reminds me to sneak up on things - and that helps! Just having someone there to calm you down - talk some of the adrenalin off... The car gets better because he knows what to do when I tell him it's doing "X" --- and he makes my driving better because he keeps me back from the ledge. HAHAHAHAHA It's true though!

Got the masters in place, will make up the lines tomorrow. This is getting stupid working on two cars at once, and posting crap.

Hang in there Ron! :snapout:

You're an inspiration to all of us! I for one know that your build is inspiring my next one entirely!

Looking good. Curious to see the difference in brake pressures.

You need to hire a cute marketing/social media girl so you can stay focused...on the "working on cars part" :lol:

Very Racy! You might be fast with brakes on both the front and the rear. LOL

Ron, which inner seals were you running before? What is the surface finish on your axles?

There are not awesome billet seals for 35 spline so I just put these in Rich's car. Allstar number 72098

We weren't having a problem, It just really upped the maintenance routine knowing the gear lube washed the grease off the bearings. The more I thought about it, gear lube is plenty good for the bearings but the unknown was how much lube are we getting there. USCA in St Louis and the Motorstate....we'll see how it goes.

I was running the billet style aluminum housing with a single style seal that Moser provides. Moser doesn't do much on the finish of those axles, so I called Speedway got the O.D. that the axle should be at the seal surface. Took it to a machine shop and polished it on a crank polisher to that O.D.

Looks like the new setup works pretty well, at least pressure wise, haven't driven it yet. I seem to be able to adjust the pressures between 1200psi front and 800psi rear, and then opposite that, by adjusting the balance bar. I bought a 7/8 master just in case for the front, I may install it after driving it, but at least I'm close. Can't wait to see if it feels different.

Ron are you running 6Ps? If so, what size masters? I'll have to check, but I think Baer spec'd 3/4" front and 15/16" rear (14" rotors).
