For the first time I got myself up close to the rear end under the 32 project then this happened… While looking in the housing (no 3rd member installed yet, just axle’s) I seen how large the axle’s really are, 35 spline! All this time I thought this thing was only to be a cruiser. So why would have Carina purchased large axle’s years ago. That hunch led me to purchase a 31 spline 3rd member some time ago. Question is, can these axle’s be machined down enough (just where they insert 3rd member) that the 35’s disappear totally so 31 splines then can be machined onto them? Ok, I’m behind the chicken wire now. Let’s have it.
If the net would supply me with people answers on axle diameters vs AI take over I’d be more able to answer that question. Just kicking ideas around. Probably cheaper to get replacement axle’s vs machine work and treating.
Sell the 35 spline axles (usually race stuff) to someone that can use them and buy 31 spline axles to go with the carrier that you already have.
