Default need some quick help from 9" owners

I just picked up a Moser 9" for my car. It doesn't have drain/fill plugs and I'd like to add them. Can somebody with a 9" please post some pictures showing where the drain and fill plugs are located so I can weld them in the right spot? I searched and couldn't find anything. Thanks!!!

the fill plug should be on the 3rd member. on the driver side. on my 9inch the welder welded a o2 bung on the bottom on the housing.

I have installed a few drain and fill plugs in a 9 inch... I tend to go approx1 inch below the axle centerline in the back of the housing and use 3/8 or 1/2 pipe plugs so theres a taper...

I ordered mine with a drain, and its right on the very bottom, flush to the housing. As stated above, the fill is in the center section.

My fill is at the top of the back of the Housing and the drain is dead center on the bottom of the housing. And stock TQs will most likely break with a 9in

you'll need an adjustable torque arm to dial in your pinion angle. I learned the hard way having my car sit for 2 weeks
