Sorry, Fastman. Major fail on my part. I bought the 2.69 third member as part of a lot of other stuff a while back and never actually counted the teeth to make sure. It’s definitely NOT a 2.69. Guess I shouldn’t have believed the 2.69 written on the carrying case without checking for sure. It’s a 31 spline, anyway.
So much for the Canadian beer….

Don't let not being able to help us out stop you from saying hello.... We have a policy of NOT allowing drunkenness to take place in our pit area.... but we DO share beers.... and I know that even though the beer up here has higher alcohol content, 3 point whatever up to 5 point whatever pct, one or two Canadian beers WON'T be allowing drunkenness to take place....
And BTW, Tony (maguromic) provided a link to a guy in Ohio who has (just) a gearset .... I can get them from him landed on the west coast for about $70 total price including shipping. Finding a 3rd member in good shape would be easier though....
Also, I was not correct about the tooth counts. The guy in Ohio, who claims some knowledge of Ford gear ratios, said that
the tooth count is 35 to 13 on the set that he has - he said that Ford MAY have made that ratio with other tooth counts but he has never seen any other tooth counts. (I originally thought and replied that the counts would be 43 to 16)
