So here we go on Shenanigans 2.0…
It worked out perfect just to wheel the Ellis saw over and just lop off the spindles. Trim back the truss all the way back to the shock mounts and lower link mounts. This is to give enough room for a proper weld on the new SOLID inner C’s. Plans to plate that back in.
Dropped out the ring gear. Then we assembled both knuckles including the spindles so the alignment rod can true everything up. This setup had pucks that clamp in place of the center section bearings and sleeves that thread onto my D60 spindles.
WELD PORN!!
My new front axle is an ECGS 14 Bolt that our resident axle guru, @Jody Treadway helped me spec out. I’m not baller enough to go 40 spline for plenty of reasons. Man’s gotta draw the line somewhere. Transferred all my SOLID outer stuff onto the new 14B. Artec truss and link tabs. This is as far as we got this 3 day marathon.
Already made the call to Branik and have custom inner shafts in the works.
