Arms bolted on. Top one polished for coating.
I collect bolts Friday.

I'm having a problem on my rear end. The liner's that is.
I wanted to upgrade to bigger outer bearings (Timken 514003)
which is much larger than the current Mustang 9".
I just measured and my axle OD is smaller than 1,531" for the Timken.
My axles measure 1,366". I can get metric bearings that run at very high load and speed
but they measure 35mm which is a shade (,26mm) too big for the Mustang axle. :dhorse:

Mike, that top plate, is it held on by those four allen bolts, only?  How does that middle bolt work?  I have not seen anything like that before.

That C/S M16 bolt is temporary until I get the right bolts Friday.
My bolt sponsor is 100 miles away so we try to collect stock as
little as possible. The M16 is the main bolt that holds the components together. :cheers:

I've given 100% I think and i'm burnt out.
No comment on what Floydjer will say but I need a break.
The mental torture is too much. If I lived in the US i'd hook up with Gregg
and visit museums. I can't do that so fishing is my only option. :-D :-) :|
Gone fishing (if all things line up). :cheers:

if you put weights on the line they hang straight down, assuming no currents  :-D

Have fun

No such luck unfortunately.
The holiday home is shared by family and the guy with the keys is away.
Guess i'm stuck here at home.

Good thing I stayed. Some goodies arrived. 1000 rivnuts and a tool.
My client Ashley bought the tool for his project but it's mine when the job is done.
Cool dude and so genuine. :cheers:

BTW, Sparky, I PM'd you about ratios. Need some feedback please?. :-D

Mike, are your rivets stainless steel or carbon steel with galvanizing or anodizing?

Normal carbon steel, cadmium plated for the client.
I have Ally for the liner.
