We had to weld there because there was two stress cracks in the housing.
Notice how dimpled the metal is...the housing was so rusted and funky that I nick named it Barnacle Bill lol.gif It is the worst rear I have ever seen or worked on.
Paint will be going on Barnacle Bill tomorrow then off to the cryogenics lab with him next.
As for the internals they are not to bad but, a few more pulls on the dyno and he would have blown apart. One of the bearings on the LSD just fell apart after I removed the LSD from the housing eek.gif
With as much metal that came off wire wheeling and in the blaster booth I could sell him as a lighten diff lol.gif
thought it was interesting to say the least but very funny to
Hey everyone Never posted over here this will be a first,
I am a picture nut and post pics all the time here is Phil's old rear after I cleaned him up
Nick name is Barnacle Bill
Other than a bit of gear wear and a bad LSD bearing he was in pretty nice shape inside. After old Barnacle Bill got back from the cryo lab I set him up with a new
set of bearings, new 4.44 gears, paint, and other needed parts.
A new set of 10.9 screws
Tight backlash
Ready for new service
I wish I took pics when it was removed from Phil's car, it was messy
