Finished the long tubes. The pic says it all.

Been there, done that! Counter tops are great surface plates too. Engineer - Unique problem solver. Machinist - Engineer with cool tools. :)

LOVE the "lathe"!!!

Started the long tube header install. 2023 GT A10.

Broke down and bought a Vevor case splitter. Cool! Lugs are too big for the holes in the case. Bummer! So, I checked the dowel hardness, less than 55 rockwell, and off to the lathe I went. Initially, I was just going to turn them down and get to work. However, I figured I'd take a bit of extra...

Thank you!

Mind sharing a pic?

i wish! Bare brushed REAL aluminum would be sweet!!! Can't imagine the price.

Then I'm super confused. My original post includes a picture of brushed aluminum facade with gauges.... I could be looking for the wrong item...

Yeah, sadly none are simple brushed aluminum.

Pretty simple. Looking for this center dash. With or with out the gauges. Prefer near DFW TX but willing to pay for shipping pending price. PayPal Goods n Services only if shipped.

Really? Interesting. I'm not much into top end. More of an autocross and daily driver car. Worst case, I rebuild the 3.15, apply lessons learned, and re-install. Either way, quieter and tighter. Just as I say I don't want to do this regularly. I do see the irony. :) .

Facts. Do EVERYTHING while that thing is a part! I'm having fun learning but sure don't want to do this regularly! Once the pinion depth and gear pattern is to your liking, back lash should be a function of moving the carrier left/right of center with shims. Towards the passenger side for less...

Axle bearings and seal, then started on the pinion and flange

Made a little progress before the heat became oppressive. (105 as a high, over 112 in the garage) Got the axle bearings tweaked to pre-measured depths and seals installed. Then tackled the pinion install. That oil slinger is pretty cool. After longer than I'd like to admit, I figured out it...

Thanks! Dang good to know!

Changed the diff fluid and the original was ample. Didn't measure it but was ample. No "glitter" in the fluid. Replaced with a little heavier and still noisy. Applying the full Steeda kit the noise is more, of course. My real concern is the massive back lash I can feel just moving the drives...

Shipping to Weatherford TX 76087?

I'm in a similar situation. Watch these as many times as it takes. They have really helped me. Rear rebuild in a solid axle 8.8 (very similar to our Super 8.8) Reading gear pattern.

Started to rebuild the 3.73 Torsen and start the gear pattern reading.
