Here it is.
It's got floating axle housing ends on it. It's hard to tell in this picture but there is nearly 2 degrees of camber, positive on one end and negative on the other. I'll cut the ends off and machine them down so they sleeve into the tubes when I shorten it down. A friend of mine has a lathe large enough that we'll be able to turn the whole housing to true up the ends after the cut.
I'll machine up a bar and collars to put through the whole thing to hold it all straight for welding.
I'll have to gut some of the brackets and fittings off and weld them up. I reckon the whole thing will polish up like a mirror when it's all finished.
It should look great in the back of the dragster. The diff is a real feature of a Front engined dragster. When you're sitting in the drivers seat its right there in front of you. You actually sit behind the diff with your legs either side of it.
I just have to resist working on it till the Cobra is all done.
Cheers
