Ok so be it! I just wondered and suggested maybe Jana 76 will get you by until you get to do the ultimate 14b front build.

Have you looked up "super king pin" Reid just released? Huge knuckles to run 05-up Ford D60 unit bearings and have more room for even bigger RCV joints (I think Rockwell sized) and the stub engages into the unit bearing directly so no drive slugs needed (similar to as dodge ball joint D60 unit bearings)

Also there's a good thread on which 14b housing will be best to use. I'll find a link to it shortly.

Found it. Yes RCV Rockwell joint fits. Beef! ;D

Quote from: Reid Racing;35096906
We just received our first batch of inner Cs so Kevin Yoder came by today to pick up a set for KOH.  We stuffed his Rockwell RCV into the knuckle assembly to confirm fitment of the boot.  He's off to complete his front axle now.

Or 1550 u-joints can be used also (Briank make them)

that stub's got to be like that to get rid of a drive slug or lockout hub, I'm guessing?

Correct. Engages the hub directly.

Edit: and no more stub shaft bearings in the spindle to destroy.

rcvs were 50% queiter, and in a few trail hours i noticed most of the grease was pushed out and the sound the same now. 


found a huge fail on my part tonight.  when i changed out the hub to one of the ones i got from chris, i didnt notice he took the outer bearing snap ring out to swap to his new hubs.  outer bearing race slipped in 1/2" and no preload on the hub bearins.  caused seal to leak.  i almost left it.  shaft and rotor only holding wheel true.  shurly soon to failure. 

found snap ring in old cut up hub in scrap pile, new seal, cleaned and assembled. 

found a lot of link bolts loose tonight.

attempted to seal MC cover

lube job. 


Have two tires to break down, mount 2 treps this week, fluid check, tool bag check, fuel. 

plan to load Tuesday or Wednesday.

You running the smaller alternator? Why not the AD244 alternator? Big jump in amp output over the smaller one even when hot.

got some lift time last night

#8 exhaust dead COLD-  looks like a new plug fixed it and running back on 8 again with some learning needed.
front output (rear 205) yoke replaced, drive shaft got a new ujoint and installed
front 35 spline drive slugs need replacing soon.  tons of slop in splines.  grabbed a slug from joes parts pile and fits 80% tighter.
front spindle nuts re adjusted
full grease job.
