Just another run of the mill Buggy build

[TJDukit]

I really am going to head out there to the other side of the Oquirrh's one of these days and take some pics to update this thread. I'm getting antsy!

If you don't nobody will.

There is stuff to update I am just to busy building the dang thing to update the thread

If you don't nobody will.

I know it. Plus I'm going to bring a sharpie and write my name on the tube over the passenger seat so he has to let me spot him. That's irrevocable.

If I were you I would write it above the driver seat, but whatever.

Well I threw some money at this thing today and ordered up a radiator, Master brake cylinders, the shifter for my trans and rear axle shafts.... I am planning on hitting this really hard the next couple weeks

Sweet, love to see progress on this.

So for my rear axle I am actually using a front passenger drop housing with front spindles and outers off a front 60.... I want to use the factory inner seals for a front axle. Who does custom shafts that can machine me double splined shafts with the seal surface. I have the technology to machine these myself but not the proper tooling. I can invest in the proper tooling but this point in the build I would rather just buy shafts and be done with it. I would prefer 300m shafts but 4340 will do....

Thanks

Branik was all about talking to me until I told them I need a seal surface along with the double splined shafts then they stopped emailing me and I cant get a response... So screw them

 

[RockChucker]

RCV probably can seeing as their front inner shafts are double splined to mate to the CV joint...they also have a 300m option...I may have a solution for your inner seals too...call me later

Well I pulled the trigger and ordered a spline cutter I will be making my own shafts from scratch. the raw material will be here tomorrow morning and getting sent out for heat treat

 

[I Lean]

I'd assume their shaft blanks aren't large enough for the seal surface. Could you just make a press-on seal surface piece to put on before the profile machining?

Either way....you have the stuff coming, so I won't mention that UFAB or Summit Machine can probably do it.

This is awesome on so may level's!

They can both do it but they will also charge me more than the tooling and raw material cost.... So I might as well have it around for future projects...

I could make a ton of different seal designs work but I want to retain the factory inner seals for simplicity and availability and I can make shafts just as easy as I can machine something to run a different seal

Sometimes I think you're pretty awesome. Sometimes

I didn't mean run a different seal...I meant so you could still use smaller shaft blank material (1.5"+ O.D.) and have a larger spot on it for the seal surface, which I think is something like 1.625".
