Well ,all 4 corners are back on the ground and aligned now. After 3 days of rework of a few things thanks to G1.

Got a few loose ends left to do on the wiring once I set the engine/tranny in that will take a few days more than likely then it should be pretty much just bolt the rest of the stuff on. But we do all know that it's the last details that take a lot of time to button up. Anyway it's a pretty short time now to vroom vroom. Haven't decided to paint the body now or not. I'd like to get going on testing of the tranny soon. Good Gawd this thing has been the most involved project I have yet taken on if I include the shop addy/machine rebuild/car build as one project which ,in effect,it has been since I needed to do all to get to this point. Been a long road. The V8 car will be a piece of cake and a whole lot more enjoyable after this monster. LOL!!!!

Summers, Tatum and Fortins I worked on all had spacers. Wither or not they came that way from the factory I don't know. I just kinda assumed that they all came like that as all the full floater hubs I have taken apart on 9" rear ends have had them..........
 
If they didn't come with them, to Me it means that they weren't capable of holding the tolerances needed to make them work correctly so they didn't include them.
 
So, out of curiosity, how much pre-load did you end up with? Most full floater TT-rears I run .006. I have seen some people run as much as .013......... The Fortin outboard hubs needed about .010 to keep them tight when the warmed up. They had REALLY large bearings in the though.........

I shot for .010 but the spacers that another made for me had one .010 under and the other was a bit looser but still too tight.I will make others now that I have the time.

I'm using non plunging 930 cv's in these and they are approx .250 thinner in the races even though they will take more angle. I do not know if the hubs would have been to tight if using the G1 provided standard 930 cv. You don't by chance have any disassembled pics of the ones you have worked on do you?

No pictures, Up until recently I didn't even have a camera (digital or otherwise) so it never occurred to Me to take pictures of anything. I now have a camera on My phone.......... All of the old build pics I took using a roommates camera. When she moved out the pics stopped till recently.........
 
Sadly, there are many things I wish I had pictures of since My memory is going to hell........

I'm guessing it's not worth trying the g1 930 to see if it does make a difference? I don't see why it would but who knows!

I sold them after i MEASURED THE DIFF IN thickness and ordered spacers accordingly. The spacers were off. IF there was a crush sleeve as BDKW says others have it would not have been an issue.

note to self don't buy G1 product for it is no better than prowlers!   :'( sad so sad they produce such product! did you try calling them and asking?  I know with my dealings with the rev box they built for bullet they had several problems with case tolerances off so far it jammed gears upon final assembly! of course bullet said they spun each one over by hand before it left to be sure! after I called they said I guess we missed one.   rofl rofl rofl    bs1

About 3 years ago I got so mad at them that I swore I'd never talk to them again. I guess I should have decided not to buy from them again either. LOL!!

A few random pics from final assembly. couple of new ones showing the clutch rocker arm linkage for the tranny adapter. There is no room for a front mounted slave so this did the trick.
