It's funny - I'm actually tinkering with the idea of aftermarket IRS carriers around aftermarket Dana ring/pinions, but ... not using much else of the Dana housing design, heh heh.

Removable thirdmember for sure, as well as the Dana 60 taking a poo poo ton more power to spin. Looking to make 1500hp this season and the 9" is just more reliable and easier to find parts for at events. That being said a fabricated 9" housing is typically cheaper since they are vastly more popular.

A few of those exist already sorta, like the high pinion d35, d44, and d50 housings for the front ends of various Ford SUVs and pickups, the low pinion Corvette d44 I think, and I believe the Dakota used some sort of dXX ICA front axle assembly. Would be way way easier to use those than try and duplicate the castings and machining IMO. And I love distracting myself with projects to build something my project needs.

Yeah, there's stuff that's close to be sure, but I was thinking in terms of a 8/10ths-to-proper-motorsport dealie - minimal extra casting mass and volume, proper assortment of mount points, etc, possibly provision for active diffs. Due to all the stuff the Dana stuff is used in, there's a nice range of ring sizes and ratios available without need to make my own gears. May not be necessary, just something I'm thinking of. Anyway, whole thing's a sidetrack.

My whole drat yard is full of Dana Spicer stuff all the way from 35s to 70s and honestly if I was going to consider that kind of project I'd go with a prefab 9in third and fab a housing for it, or if you want more strength, design around the Chevy 14 bolt instead.

Sounds like people don't really like the 60 unless you really, really need the strength for some reason. I only brought it up because I was daydreaming about Mopar stuff, seems a lot of people there will go from a 8 3/4 (which is decently strong, weaker than Ford 9 though) to a Dana 60 because some don't like other brands' parts on their cars. Also, some Mopars came with a Dana 60 rear.

Everyone talking about the strength of the 60 has me confused. Perhaps stock to stock but who the hell is running a stock third member in a 9" drag car? I don't see a lot of 3000hp cars running danas. All the billet promod floater rear ends are based on 9" tech.

Yeah, I guess by the time you're worried about the strength, you don't wnat to deal with the pain in the rear end that's adjusting a D60 either. The only reason it sounds like you'd run one would be "MUH AUTHENTICITY!" Anyway, that is in no way related to an awesome single cam S2000.

So my current issue is a big one. I don't have a rear subframe any more, and I also no longer have the shock towers to even mount one. Yet the car needs to be able to roll onto my trailer with little trouble next month even during a potential snow storm which is likely in january. I considered casters, but I had horrific dreams of it collapsing while winching it up onto the trailer. In a moment of clarity I went to ebay and searched out trailer idler axles. Boom for $114 I have a 60" axle coming in. Now I need to weld some sort of drop down box frame to attach the axle to. My only question is can I cut the axle in half and reweld? Or are both sides connected? I would like to actually cut this to the same width as my moser axle and be able to ship it to the chassis shop with my 15x12 wheels attached. Really wish I had the knowledge of four link setup and cage rules to comfortably do this all here and avoid this mess in the middle of icey winter. Here is someone elses solution, I am thinking something similar is in my future.

I would expect stub axles so that there's no scrubbing in turns, but I don't know for sure.

Yeah no trailer axles are just a piece of pipe with a spindle-bearing-hub assembly on either end like any other non-driven wheel. I cut-and-weld widened a trailer axle this summer myself.

    Hopefully this cad model is as accurate in the trunk area as it was for my hood stencil mockup. Gonna probably make the wing out of 1/8 aluminum because carbon work scares me.

Where can I get thick posters printed affordably? I want to print a flat pattern and cut it out to test fit on the car before I laser my sample at the metal shop on monday and start forming. Everywhere I look is limited to 48" and my pattern is like 24x60"

Any reason you can't just get two pieces and tape them together? If it's just going to be to get an idea of how it fits it probably doesn't need to be perfect

Not exactly the same thing, but at work we've discovered a 5/16" r8 collet fits a sharpie drat well. We'll use the mill from time to time as a plotter to check dimensions. Maybe you can use the laser gantry in the same way? Assuming you have a cnc laser cutter... Similarly, an overhead projector (good luck finding one of those) with a 8.5x11 printout projected on something you can trace the lines could work for a cardboard aided design mockup. E: Like so. Plotting out 1/4 of the load area of our z pinch machine and then the piece and three others test fit on the load region. I cut them out with a utility knife. These were optical breadboards once all was said and done.

So I ripped out the dash and was horrified to see all the honda wiring. loving horrible. I use about 4 of these plugs(headlights,wipers, taillights, blinders,windows) so I guess I will be redoing the entire wiring again. I decided to go relayless however So this is a solid state power module. It can do pulse width for pumps, doesnt use fuses(load sensing), allows multiple inputs for activation, and you can manipulate current limits effortlessly. Its expensive but hopefully a used kit will be cheaper. Only issues is I will be unable to find new connectors for the harness, and will probably be forced to buttconnect wires or if I am luck depin these connectors. Hopefully I can clean up this mess with something like this.

Hopefully I can clean up this mess with something like this. The Racepak Smartwire looked very nice but expensive, so I started looking around for a budget option and found this: http://www.cartek-store.com/pdp_16.htmlg What do you see as the pros and cons between this and the Racepak? Does anyone know other budget options? I guess the Cartek doesn't do PWM.

 Not quite. I don't recognize those unfortunately. They remind me of a molex mx150 or Delphi Apex series but I don't think that's correct. Can you take high res pics of any and all logos and markings? Makers Mark might be hidden somewhere on an edge or in between the pins, too. It's probably something common-ish though, no one has custom connectors done for aftermarket products.

OEMs often use really oddball pins/contact and housings. I did the same thing with a GM overhead console, and ended up cutting plugs out of junkyad cars and crimp splicing them.
