Now the party starts!

Using the GMR9-TX system we can put the GMR full -floater on any setup and housing. Notice to install the new floater we only had to cut the ends off where the original flanged piece was welded. Thus we did not have to trim any more then the flanged ends off, leaving all the brackets and brake line plumbing in place.

Here is something that you guys might find interesting!

What we took off the rear end, flanged axle with 31 spline

What we are putting on with upgrade to floater and 35 spline!

(these are nova axles, the units we are using are about 2.5 pounds heaver but they are still at machine right now, were closer to a 50.8 lb situation)

Something wasn't set up right IMO. Your rear end was whining and you mention the axles flanges bumping into the seals.

I totally agree that these cars need a floater, corvette hub, or floating caliper. Fixed calipers on a tapered or roller bearing rearend, DON'T work.

Started on the caliper mounts...

with this in mind we decided that putting on a GMR filler cap was the obvious choice, now Cris can easily monitor the ring gear without pulling the third member!

Cris also wanted to relocate the breather and utilize something larger then what was originally on the housing. GMR -6 stainless fitting welded on the housing per the specifications given by Cris.

This is such a nice, well thought out piece. Nice work Jason.
Welding seems acceptable:lol:

And now I have rearend envy, DAMN this site.

yup those weld suck!:thumbsup:

That's the nicest diff jig I've ever seen. Very, very nice setup you guys have.

Shocked that the rotors did that. Must have been a lot of play to deflect to the point of failure with a rotor.

BB is very photogenic. :cool:

Nice job on the pics. :thumbsup:

Totally agree Skippy---she can't take a bad pic. Such an awesome car.
