Default TR6060 Z06 tailhousing (thickness) dim please + Anyone got one spare?

Hello,

Does anyone know what the TR6060 Z06 tailhousing thickness is (from the rear face of the TR6060 (before the tailhousing) to the front face of the transaxle)?



Does anyone have one going spare? PM please if you do, thanks.

Looking for one that looks similar to this:

Its the same as any 06-07 T56 from a C6 Z06 Corvette also...those tail sections are worth a few hundred used...

I'm sure we have one but I would not sell it, do you just need the lengh of the tail housing..??

Mike,

Thanks for your response it is much appreciated.

When I said "spare" I did not mean "free", I just meant without a use.... (i.e. it was laying about and someone wants to sell one).

If you could give me the length of the tailhousing that would be great.

I was thinking I may adapt the tailhousing and add an adapter plate in order for it to be connected to an LT230 transfer case, this may require welding the adapter plate onto it (TIG) as I may have to remove some of the wings in order that the transfer case bolts are in the right location. Or I may be able to use it as a part casting to a cast custom tailhousing.

Unfortunately I don't have any spares, they are fairly tough to get right now.

The tail housing is roughly 4.4375" long. Let me know if you need anything else.

If you're welding it anyway, why not just work with the more common C5 tail like the 4x4 t56 thread I gave you above?

Mike I may be being a bit daft here (same way as thinking a SSR mainshaft would work in a TR6060 case) but I suspected that the earlier C5 wouldn't work on the end of the TR6060 and I was better off aiming for for the Z06.


I also thought I'd get a bit more of a flange to use as a straight edge for the flat adapter plate so everything is in alignment (that's why I was backtracking a bit from CNC or casting the rear housing).



Thanks again mike for offering your guidance.
