Not quite related to my fuel tank but I just got back from the Ballarat Swap. I'd been looking at a diff for a dragster project I'm starting. I'd been thinking about using a Speedway style Quick change but settled on a 9"

It must have been destiny that I went to the Swap this year because I found the perfect housing. I picked up an ex NASCAR fabricated stainless steel 9" housing made by TEX Racing. This thing is seriously nice and I got it for the right price too. It's set up with stagger in the housing ends (Positive camber on one side and negative on the other) but since I'm going to cut it down and shorten it that doesn't matter. It's got ends for full floating hubs which I'll machine down and re use when I shorten it.

I'm a happy camper today. This diff is a piece of art. You could put a pot plant in it and have it in your lounge room.

Pics to follow.

Cheers
