Last night I started building my new rear end that I ordered from Dutchman axles last month.

A quick order breakdown:
1. H78g2 DMI Housing & Alloy axles, Ford 9, Roadster Round Back | GEN 2

2. H24a Install drain & deluxe filler-Pr

3. BS80 Bearing upgrade; Timken Set #20 with special loc rings & 471195 hsg seal.

4. TM10 3rd member; Strange Street Nod, Open-31 spl, 1350 yoke, 3.40 ratio

5. BK15 Brake kit; DMI Drum, Big Ford NEW Style Ends [BB-SB], 11"

6. h29b Install brkts, Spring pads, Pr. cust supplied (Labor only, 3" tubes only)

7. ML32 Powder Coat: 9 inch Ford housing & 3rd member case [Semi flat Black]

8. TM19e Bolt kit: 9" 3rd mem. & hsg. studs/bolts/nuts/washers, vent, hsg. seals


The interesting thing is that I got sent the nodular pro case. The gears are correct though. I have to call Monday and see why.

The first thing I did was spend about an hour cleaning out the weld spatter and shavings. I used a scotch bright pad on a stick. I wiped it out with cleaner and shop towels until they wiped clean. Next I put on the lubelocker gasket. Then I dropped in the third member. It took a little work to get it in gently with a dead blow but I managed to not booger any studs. I slid the axles in per the instructions in case there was any play in the studs. I got them snug but I didn't have my torque wrench with me and it was 11pm so this is where I called it a night. I need to run to the parts store for some rtv silicone and I need to come up with a seal driver slightly under 2.500".
