      I'm adding two extra spider gears so I need a part made to support the ends of the shaft for the extra spider gears. This might help, imagine two more small gears perpendicular to the ones in this picture.

        Is this solving a common problem or just over-engineering for fun?

          The two spider gears in the front diff like to explode with more than 3-400ftlb of torque. This will hopefully solve that problem. A guy in Finland with an 800hp ix did something like this and it worked pretty well.

            This is a video of it from 2010 with the stock front diff I believe, he went through like 5 front diffs before he reinforced one like this.

                  Sooooooo... last week I accepted a job offer in Sussex with Rotating Equipment Repair...   WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in Milwaukee yesterday looking for an apartment and found one I really like with an attached heated garage (was the deal maker) in the Broadway Commons apartments southeast edge of Waukesha. I start October 13 but the apartment wont be available until the 15th so I'll have to stay at a friends house for a few days then my parents will bring a uhaul with all my stuff from Minnesota on the weekend. very exciting :D  Looks like I'm going to be an OFFICIAL WIBIMMER haha

                        The manager said no working on cars in the garages because of oil stains but I said I could put down a rubber or plastic mat, she said keep the garage door shut and be discrete. Was trying to keep a strait face when talking about oil stains lol m20

                          I'd invest in some plastic tiles or something and make a false floor. Cool that they are being flexible but I wouldn't wanna get burned either.

                                Working on it!

                                Picked up a 370mm mtech 1 wheel. I really like my 385mm mtech 1 wheel but with my steel toe boots for work I can't get in my car without hitting my knee. The stitching is coming apart but the leather is in perfect shape. Anyone good with a needle or know a good upholstery shop that can re-stitch it for me?

                                      Id rock those in winter mode if i drove it in winter. Did you permanently abort the bracketry or will you weld up a new one?

                                        Looking at them I believe the brackets are the same as the readily available rwd brackets sooo hopefully disaster averted.. if not I'll invest in some tin snips and make use of all of these soup cans I have laying around my computer desk.  :P

                                          But srrussly these are stupid rare. I did a 3D scan of them at work today. Hopefully make some replicas.
