I just can't get over the fact that Ron has 2 housings, who would have thought that. :lol:

6 months from now we're going to see an add in the for sale section.

"1969 Camaro project car. All pro touring parts included. all car needs is a shell. Item located in L.A. Would prefer local buyer. Freight shipping available at buyer's expense."

Ron.... Sorry but you're still gonna have knock back. :lol:

Haha...I sure hope not! :lol:

One thing I'd add is the housing is a protoype of SpeedTech's floater built by Speedway, Brett and me. It did take some trial and error and I can now recite every part in that thing in my sleep.

You guys are a riot. Besides, the ad comes out tomorrow.

It's a defense mechanism to deal with my parts envy issues..:rofl:

So Brett, talk to me about these inner seal races, it looks to be delrin supports in an aluminum race.

Is that a snap ring on top and how much force did it take to insert?

Looking good guys.

Awesome work as usual.

Greg

Vince - alum race, rubber seals. No delrin, no snap ring. Hammer in carefully...:unibrow:

Nice addition ..looks like they're from the 'Bad Penny Signature Collection'. :unibrow:

That's some NASA type shiat right there.... or something. :D

Ummm I don't remember any talk of the hubs on the housing when we talked :woot: :woot: :woot:
Sweet very sweet!!

2 rear ends

12 hubs

17 flywheels

1 1/2 Ls engs

and one incredible build

I'm ok w that...:lol:

Thx Rick! :cheers:

At least post some more progress pics I know you're working on it. :D

Yah come on Ron or Brett we need an update!! :cheers:

Sorry Mr. Personality :D , no pics. I've been out on the road and not seen the car in a few days. I know Brett's got some...:yes:

Ricky D! Here's an update for you...We got the drivetrain together, finally, and in the car. One of those milestone moments where we're not planning on taking it back out again. Harness is getting recovered and coolers/oiling getting micked up. Should have some serious progress and pics this week :cheers:

:D

Bring them on, I have so much to learn :thumbsup:


Greg

Sorry I should have said we needs picture update :lol: I already new all of that :thumbsup: I just love see the progress on this beast:cheers:

Oops double post!

Thank you Sir!!

Ummmmm yes please keep posting the detailed pictures and how to's :thumbsup:

Speaking of double parts I here you will have one less housing to worry about :unibrow:

This build is coming along great.Ron,I hope you have it ready for RTTC next year.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Looks very nice
 

Did you install inner tube seals for the floater?

Fo Shizzle ma Nizzle :hail: :lol:

Thanks Brian. Also appreciate you taking me through Mike's oiling set up at Del Mar. That helped me alot :thumbsup:

I sure hope so Scott. I'm kinda done making predictions cause all my good 'friends' call me on it. How does the saying go, 'deadlines are made to be missed?' :lol:

Yes Payton we doubled up on them - center section and axle ends. Between that and the center vent I'm hoping we keep the gear oil where it should be. Probably a losing battle though...

That should be fine
 

make sure you vent each tube between the seals and you should be fine. You should have a total of 3 vents.

Good point Payton.. We are currently machining a part to do this on my housings..

Brett- Doing a great job!

That's what I thought as well and requested. Speedway engineer said the axle vents were not needed based on this design. We'll find out soon enough...

Cris are you referring to the GMR housing? Do they run inner (center section) seals?

Hey Chris
 

Sorry to miss you at Motor State.

Wish I knew the info first hand, but Randy Bell was having a problem with fluild pushing through the seals. The tube vents coupled with the center section vent fixed the problem...according to Ron's discussion with Randy.

I can steal information and ideas like no one else. LOL

If Speedway is good without it then you should be good.. but IMO you might blow the inner seals because you are creating pressure inside of those tubes.. & you might want to find a way to put set screws inside to retain the inner seals.. But that is what I think..

With all the issues that I have had with BB's rear-end.. I worked with Jason(GMR) on making my own housing the way I thought would work better.. Carrys more oil, Does not need inner axle seals but designed a way to keep the oil in the center section, & allows me a surface for my three link.. Last week Jason delivered three housings.. More to it.. but will show the end product later..


Payton- I am sure we will catch up here pretty soon @ a event!
