I would assume the the tube inserts into the housing 3-4" and the flange bolts just hold it in there. Not much choice when using steel tubes on an aluminum housing.

Curries Aluminum dana 60 bolts in as well, like you said there really isn't any other choice. Currie just did theirs a bit different.

Mark Williams "Modular" rear ends have had bolt on tubes since they were designed and are the rear of choice under the fastest doorslammers on the planet.

For a race car, provisions would have to be made to install some type back brace

Any idea of how much weight this saves over a Dana of the same width?

The ad list built for any rear, Chrysler, etc, does that mean 8.75"?

With axles for $995?

And is it billet, or a high pressure alum casting or what?

Looks neat, and at a price i think it might catch, better get them quick before demand catches up. biggrin
