Lakester rear axle on ebay
« on: February 13, 2012, 04:14:51 PM »
eBay item 190639799738 - Bonneville Salt Flats LSR Rear End Assembly based on 9" Ford NO RESERVE (In New Jersey)

Just saw this on eBay.  If I were not already committed to the quick change I'd be looking seriously at this for my project.  BTW, I've had a bit of experience with truck shipping.  Sometimes it's easier to have the crate held at the shipping terminal and pick it up there.  Not the best approach for something fragile given the forklift work going on.  But the worst I could imagine happening to a 9" rear, especially a compact one like this,  is that the trailing arm brackets might get bent a little.

Dauerheim and Bigelow lakester? At least one or two of the crew is on the board here. That thing would fit my lakester perfect.

I am using a Frankland, but that thing would be a drop in on our car. Surprised it is the same width on track and mounting as ours.
