The index needs turned down to 2.875 for tapered axle housings and I *think* the major diameter for the 19 spline is 1.313".

Oh, yeah, the selectable locker. I forgot about that. Guess you can't get a 19 spline ARB.

It's to run 30 spline selectable lockers with flanged shafts. I've wheeled with a handful of those jeeps.

I'll mic the spindle tomorrow, but I think it's in the 10 thou area, to get 27x19 spline axles through.

Really nice find. Congratulations. Was wondering how much machining was required to convert the dana 30 spindles? if you know.

timsresort replied to the thread 1970 Jeep Rebuild.

Not good. Not sure why the shaft would rise up and disengage enough to strip it, if the hold down was in place. I think you can drop the...
