Default Problems changing Diff in Strange 12 bolt

I have a Strange 12 bolt in my Z28. I autoX the car a lot and wanted to upgrade from the Eaton to the Trutrac. I go the parts and when I took it appart, I found I got some problems....

I don't have traction control, so my ABS reluctor is on the Diff. Well, it looks like Strange cuts the diff down to accept the factory reluctor ring??? I am not completely sure, but plan to call them on Monday. The reluctor on the eaton is tig welded in about 10 places to the diff.

The question I have is does somebody make a reluctor that will press on the trutrac or do I have to chuck it in a lathe and cut it down like the eaton? I know I will need the same number of teeth on the new reluctor, so if I got a larger diameter one with the same teeth, I should be ok???

If I have to cut it down, I will call and get a p/n for the stock reluctor monday. I just hate to have to machine my new diff.

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks
Brad
