    Do you think your company would take a job to make 2 T6061 spacers for my 78 HPD60? I think the center bore is ~130mm, but I'd need 14x1.5mm studs, with 8x6.5" pattern. I've got some H1 beadlocks, but dont want to recenter until its a dedicated trail rig.

    Ok, so its still ok to reuse the factory CV if the shaft isnt long enough then, right? Just make a sleeve with all the nifty rosettes and plugs.

    Dude, this pic stumps me. Did the original tube not slip over the nub on the CV or was it just pressed up against it and welded?

    A propane torch probably isnt enough pre-heat to really matter is it? This whole prone to cracking thing makes me nervous. I've been contemplating using 6 bolts(2 on the ears and 4 in the middle) instead of welding. I see a good mix of opinions on this subject, and really am stumped on which way to go.

    Whats a good heat and IPM setting for welding heat-treated frames? Looks like they are 3/16" thick.

    Do you work for a company that makes brackets and stuff for axles or just other fabrication on the side kinda thing?

    Dude, do you have a better pic of your truss and c/o mount on the drivers side? What year is your axle? I'm debating a newer(meaning something other than 78/79) model.

    First time I put the input drum together, I couldnt get the snap ring seated on the forward clutch because I used cotton based towels and it wouldnt let everything seat properly with a wad of cotton towel sitting at the bottom. Seals were easy for me except for that. The lo/reverse spring on the 60e loads the whole system, so of course, its the toughest/highest spring rate, and of course, they are going to put it at the bottom of the case where its most difficult to get to. At first I attempted the press with some welded flat bar to make an upside down 'u'........ that cost me $24. I saw a guy on pt.net make that type of tool to remove the spring, that worked mo betta.

    Riddle me this...
    Does the 80e have a lo/rev snap ring like the 60e? Did a see a build thread for your 80e swap, or am I just imagining it? Send me link if one exists.
