They put some special c-clip Eliminator bearing in it which required a retube with special housing ends. Used a trutrac diff. Apparently you can use 8.75/Dana adjustable bearings with custom tubes also.

I was thinking of cutting the ends an using a sealed Bearing BR20 with the appropriate housing ends.
Wonder why the retube it.

I've been running my 9 1/4 for about 5 years now with no problems ( mid 11 second car ). Heard all the "C" clip horror stories - and maybe some are true . Obviously thats a drawback to using that diff ( along with the fact that they don't make a spool for it ). Otherwise, it's a very strong diff and would easily handle a 10 second car IMO. Just seems to me that the cost to have it modified for bearing retained axles would be more than just switching to a Dana or a Ford 9"? I'm in the process of updating my drive shaft to use 1350 joints ( replacing the existing 7260 joints - which have also been trouble free for 5 years )and gotta make a diff decision.
