And are you going to run a pinion brake or wheel brakes?


I got the measurements for you.

From centreline of axle to the top of the diff it is approx 280mm
For a comparison my cruiser diff is approx 140mm

Nice work with the high clearance cover. It'd probably be stronger than the old hemisphere too! Post pics of your disk brake conversion cos I might be able to learn from that. Pinion brakes suck. Have you weighed the Rockwells yet?

The body looks like it is sitting alot higher than standard but it is only about 1/2 to 1 inch higher.

I have cut over 6 inches out of the side of the body so it looks like it is higher than it actually is.
