I think it's funny that these company's can't make you a custom set but they will take the time to weld up your old ones, re drill them, cut them down and then respline them... seems like that's more work to me then takeing a set of New blanks and just finishing them....

I guess the saying has turned around to:

Work harder, not smarter! And make less money while doing it...

LMFAO!!!

I guess its the diameter, no one stocks that size... oh well. For now I'm going to send my stocks out, I need to get this done so I can measure my wheels. I'll probably order some superiors to be cut down later. I got till Friday to make my decision. Thanks for the help though.

The Shaft Diameter??? Because if that's the case I would try Mark williams... I think my 40 Spline axles are actually around that size, i would have to dig them out... but your right for now, just get it done....

yea I seen that, the guy that did my rearend said they're 1.710 I believe, and the problem is most shops only had 1.708 and there was nothing to convert... I believe that's what he told me. I'm in class till 12:15 but will be giving MW a call. $600 is A LOT to drop on a set of c-clip axles IMO, so hopefully they got something for >400 if not I'll run these stocks for now.
