heres a pic of it when I got it you can see the peices welded to the rear and the bracket that bolts to it is sitting right in front of it on the floor, if your thinking about making your own rear, its not worth it, you cna get a bolt in unit with axles the torque arm bracket and bearings for 985 a set of axles are 500 bucks so basicly your only paring 485 for the housing torque arm bracket and bearings.

AHH, I see, thanks alot for the pic. Very clear, good shot.
Here’s the idea:
I’ll install a 9" housing. Into it I’ll install the Strange 12 bolt drop out. It’s aluminum. Being a 12 bolt, they have the ABS ring to fit the ring gear. I’d just have to drill and position the pickup on the drop out.
Why?
To take advantage of the 3% less power loss that a 12 bolt has compared to a 9" and to have the weight advantage of the aluminum center section.
This should weigh less than the stock 10 bolt rear.

I think that this is such a good idea that I'm even considering changing the pumpkin in my Monte.

about the 12 bolt with aluminum center section...
i was asking about the 9" with alum center section a while back and was told it is only for use with a spool. that the extra material needed to strengthen the alum didn't allow space for a normal differential.
is the case the same for the 12 bolt aluminum center section? if not i just found my new third member.

Hey YodiBrodi,
The Strange catalog page says to call them for posi unit options. I'll be calling them on Tuesday. It'll be their first nutzo call of the new year.
Hey Joe, thanks for the installed pics, it shows even more.
