The only way to run the original flanges is to use an 84 4.11 box that is also one piece. This is how Richards car is setup in Vegas. I wanted the two piece to make it easier to scoot everything back when I decided to do that one of these days.
If it is one piece, it is a 84 piece out of a 4kq, if it is multi, you are running 4kq shafts as well, or somebody has figured out that rear big chassis cars(type 44s and c4) have flanges that will work too out of their locker setups. I imagine they will, I just dont have them on hand. Judging by how easily the rears twisted on my current setup, I doubt my old originals are much better as they endured clutch drops with r compounds on a prepped strip.

So why havn't you just swapped over the some 5ktq rear flanges. I have a set sitting on the shelf that I pulled for the same reason. Although now that 034 has the earlier Large seals, I may not need a 2pc but will probably go that route anyways.
FYI... I had my A4 Front Axles out the other day doing CV's on it. They are WAY Larger diameter. I wonder if there are any axles off the newer cars that would be the right length to put in back. The a4 units were NOT right, but maybe some other application might be?
Hank asked me to upload some stuff so he has something to read when he gets home.
so about 2670 in total weight (e85@6.5 per gallon) with snowtires and a8 wheels, and urs recaro seats and full interior and who knows what is in your trunk... not to shabby
and hank according to Wheel weights, 21 pounds per wheel, r38s were listed but another site says 25lbs per wheel...

you should wait till Wednesday to blow it up... Hank and I are thinking about going out to Miller for the Wednesday open track night, that should be a good way to blow your trans!
I really like how you've come so far in such a short time.....your hard work is really starting to pay off. Your dedication and attention to detail..really helps motivates me...Your welding and fabrication skills are amazing. Total respect.
Hey Hank, a guy can miss a lot of detail when you make them so fast that there isn't enough time to actually check the detail. :-D I'll see you late tonight. Do you have 500 miles on the tranny yet? :wink:
Different Power steering pump solved the hard steer problem..having a silky smooth quick rack ratio is nice.. I think my wife could actually drive it if needs be..
