U Joint straps and bolts? Got a 9" I am putting in tomorrow and thinking about everything on my checklist, I didnt list U Joint straps and bolts *pulling hair out* I have the conversion U Joint from Napa #447, but no fricken straps. I seen a local speed shop had billet girdle straps, but none for 9". **** **** ****.

So, I guess I will have to learn from this one, when you save $300 or so on a rearend you might have to suck it up and buy a $20 set of Moroso U Joint Girdles. Damn it.
Check your local autoparts store for them. I know here in Houston, O'Reilley's has the correct u-bolt "straps" and nuts for use with the 9". They are in their little "help section" with all the misc o-rings, nuts, and crap like that.

Xaon, didnt think about that, thanks for the reminder and help. I am hoping the Island Speed Shop, Ron's Performance, has some Moroso ones in stock. Hopefully it'll all be done today. One weekend left before our track closes.
No offense to Bob or any of the guys at EPP, but in a way i wish i would've gone with scott mainly cause i know the rearend would've been setup properly, everything would've been included and i would have a drain plug 
Guess ill just have to install one myself when i buy a new centersection

I do installations here and I get angry with some of the maunfactures claims of being a true bolt in. I just finished up a S60 for Quasar and the 3 chanel ABS ring doesn't line up with the pre drilled ABS hole. Maybe I should have just ordered it without it and drilled it out myself after I had the axle set up and had a reference point to drill for the sensor.

Well, I got a Moroso 9" U Joint Girdle Kit, but it doesnt fit the 1350 yoke side. I reused the stock straps, I know they arent the correct size, but they are holding and will be used until I get correct ones. How can I find a 1350 sized strap? Shops here are kind of like trying to find one in N Dakota or something.

Obviously Strange knows how to build them properly, it is THIER design after all... You wanted to pocket some of the buildup cash yourself instead of having Strange do it, and now you blame THIER product???
Don't go blaming Strange when it is your buildup...
Sorry, but I just cannot stand it when people place blame on others when the problems are thiers... Just like that guy that got the S60 without the ABS, as I am pretty certain that the vendor ordered it wrong... Not saying that mistakes can't happen to anyone, just look at your buildup, but to immediately blame the original designer/supplier us a cheap shot to save face by 'middlemen' everywhere... I would figure, with this being a brand-new design and setup that Strange would be working overtime to make sure all orders are built 100% to order and QC'd with a critical eye to make sure they have a positive product launch...
