Nice! I see a 4BT and $1200 in scrap aluminium in your future.
Crazy that you've been front wheel driving for so long! Congrats on the new drivelines. Are they homemade?No FSJs for the time being - "I'm working on it, I'm working on it" (think Mike Meyers' SNL skit about the gut)Comment

Since all the reputable shaft places wanted an arm and three legs for two pairs, I bought some 4340, heat treated it and waited, waited and waited for a friend to run them in his CNC lathe. Then had them splined.

Wow! Can't believe all that work was cheaper than the arm and 3 legs they wanted for the prefabricated shafts. Congrats on getting it done though.No FSJs for the time being - "I'm working on it, I'm working on it" (think Mike Meyers' SNL skit about the gut)Comment
