guys, gun drilling really doesnt hardly take any strength out of the axles like you think it does. also while you are at it get the axles star flanged

Somebody I know might just have 33-spline gundrilled, flange lightened axles in his Strange 12-bolt, but with a posi. He runs 1.40 flat to low 1.4x 60's, but on the footbrake. Picture of his car is below from yesterday WITH a 200# passenger!. (Thanks to Jerry Hua at www.dieseldigital.net).

Unfortunately, Strange won't gundrill 33's, but Moser will.

I run a spool in my car.. Its just hard on tires..

My 12 bolt is not the best, it was a over priced 10 bolts that i have had nothing but problems with.

I probally have over 3000$ in the rear alone, between intial price, gears, oil, spool and all the other crap..
Sounds like what mine is, when It blew, all i could think is, Well, their goes $40 worth of brand new gear oil! .
You run the spool, and it held up nice? Not bad to drive around with?
Which one do you run?
The spool I eun is the Strange one. you won't need additive for the posi unit now..

so far no problems, its not bad to drive, it just killed my dag radials in about 2 months.

I'll have to go to a harder 17" tire..

It is a 12 bolt, But to get 35 splin, it is about 5 week wait, they I couldnt find any to fit. They would have to be made.

To do it again, this is what i would do. But i have the case already, so its about $1,000 bucks cheaper to just go to a spool. I know that will be strong!
