realized i have lots of ford 8.8 pinions, flanges, yokes, and 1350 super duty shafts. should be able to size a 4 bolt bearing flange and adapt to transaxle cup to retain, and support, 1350 drive shaft CVs will be nice also.
think i have ditched the pinion brake idea... dont these things usually get water/steel shot in the tires anyway lol, i guess that weight will help on the corners
stared at a TC pump today, decided not worth 150$ in my time to not order the CBR bracket on ebay that bolts on.
