Good use for extra rear diff. clutch pack shims?

batmantech · March 29, 2013

Wondering if anyone has found a good use for all these extra 9.75 rear axle limited slip clutch shims. I have a box full of these things and I keep thinking I will find some sort of use for them. Any Ideas?

Stack a few extras in a carrier and make a ghetto spool Posted Image

Meets class rules, is a factory posi! Posted Image We did it for circle track all the time with 8.8's

Good thinking - what the rule book doesn't say is a LOT more important than what it does say.

We would just weld them up for racing on the dirt. They changed the rules and would jack up one side and it had to spin!

I was thinking you could sharpen them up and make some nice ninja throwing stars. Geez, what am I...12...

I assume they'd have to spin free rather than meet a break-away torque?

As Mr. Yunick would say Posted Image

Our rules just said no spool/welded diffs. If they wanted to check it, we'd pull the cover.

You guys oughta see what we've got stashed away - in 1996, the Ford Mustang was available with a 32v 4.6 DOHC. Our car's body/chassis is 1996 Mustang.

Weeeeelll.... We build competition 4.6's at work.

Sooo...

All the parts have Ford part numbers on them, and are factory available parts.
