Thanks Fellas for the kind word's,
Pantera Doug, I think any extra stackup height on the bolthead & washer from the stock bolts would prevent you from reassembling/installing the carrier/ring gear as it is a very tight fit, infact you must be very careful as not to damage another part, unless you have the input shaft removed.
Thanks Blaine.
JeffS,
I to am a Vetran of a little tye wiring, I spent 27yrs as a Heavy Industry Machinist in the Electric Utility's, One of the thing's we repaired was jet engines straped to electric Generator's for peak Electric load demand.
Endless days of wiring. We used what you used and Inconel, Monel & various stainless steels.
Your right as stainless is not what most folks think, certain enviorments like to eat it,salt,corrosives, clorine.
It is very tough outside of this and in this application I think a step better than steels, cost was ok too.
I dig the fact that there are so many enthusiast, from so many walks of life that can have postive, constructive input to help each other make a great vehical better,
Thanks again, Mark
