Hey Bill, I'll get this party started.
I'm waitin' for the stud kit for the rear end housing (ETA tomorrow),..... so I thought I'd play dress-up this afternoon. Hung a few parts on the mock-up engine, just to see what it LQQKs like.

Well Rapid, .... Robbie....... I got the stud kit today. Bad news is ....They are the wrong ones. :oops: :shock: :shock:

The sales rep asked me to measure from the housing surface to the bell end flange to get the stud legnth. ... 2", I told him ... to go through (2) 4 link brackets - (1) Spacer & (1) bell end. So he sent me 2" studs :oops: :x
Guess he forgot to add a few threads for the nut, washer & a few more to thread into the rear end housing. :oops: And they didn't send the nuts & washers. :oops: Oh well, it's going to be a busy week here anyway, so as long as they get the right stuff here by the weekend, ---- no harm -- no foul. :roll:
