I'll probably just do that. Last edited by GEnsrud; 05/08/11 11:49 PM. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

Take it to your buddy!! Photobucket sucks

Although I really like the box that bolts to the pinion snubber boss. Great idea. 6625595-pinionseal002.jpg (35 downloads) Last edited by bboogieart; 05/09/11 10:56 PM. I have mechanical Aptitude.
