Ford 8.8 axle swap
HOT-ROD:
not to mention, burning JB weld might not be the best to breath in.
Axle:
Good news!!! I called MORE and asked about purchasing only the brackets I need. I got the answer I was looking for, so that will save me some money there. He didn't say how much, but I'm hoping he'll drop the price from $300 to $200.
reg:
jb weld is not structural... really it just fills gasp, like missing threads, holes in the oil pan, etc. just tack weld them in place and then finish it up when you have it lined up correctly. buy a tape measure ::)
Axle:
Yeah, I know. I have a tape measure, and Doball has the angle finder, so I've got the measurement tools I need. It will be easy getting the pinion angle, and I've got all the measurements I need from Stu's Offroad. Really, all I'm waiting on is MONEY! It's agonizing to say the least. In the mean time, I'm just pecking away at stripping off the old paint and surface rust.
Seabee_BUC:
Axle,
Are you planning on painting the whole axle after all the brackets are welded on? Are you priming it until things get all ready for paint? If so, please leave a decent BARE METAL spot for my ground clamp. No primer or anything. The better the current flow, the more stable of the arc melting the metal. Makes for nicer welds... Thanks!
