my buddie and i played around with how to re-machine the holes. no matter how we rotated it at least 4 holes intersected. 2 on each side. so i welded in 4 of the 10 holes. 2 on each side. figured that would be the best.

here is the hub all machined. had to turn it down small enough to get the stock dodge rotors to fit over it.
left to right. stock dodge dana 80 hub, machined 10 lug hub, stock 10 lug hub. look at the diffrence in the bearing size. :shock:
the two 10 lug dana 80 hubs before and after machining.

i was going to machine some plate to make a spacer that that would just clamp between the hub and the brake bracket so i could weld it in place. the center hole was machined pretty close to to the size on the axle tubing. figured it would center it really well. then my buddie said i should just machine a spacer out of tube that fits over the lip on the flange and in the step in the hub. then it would be perfectly centered. :headbang: got some 5" OD 1/2" wall DOM tubing and cut a chunk off.
spacer all machined.
test fit
installed and clamped with backing plate tacked in place
all welded up. one pass on the out side and three passses on the inside. the inside of the plate had a big bevel machined in it to get some good penitration. all welds were done in sections and alowed to cool before the next pass. dont want any thing warping. :thumbsup:

this is just a pic of me makin some set up carrier bearings for the dana 80. when my friend and i were going to set up the ring and pinion, well let me back up. so this 10 lug dana 80 had new carrier, 4.10 gears and bearings, but when i pulled it all apart i knew that it was not set up right. it was pretty bad. so i bought a shim kit so we could re-set up the gears. well when we started to pull the carrier bearings off things got worse. the bearings looked new but the races were defiantly old. same with the front pinion bearing and the pinion dam was all bent up. so i ordered a full install kit. new bearings and all. :thumbsup: so with the old carrier bearings, that were still new, i polished out the inside so they would just barley slide on the carrier. that way i dont have to press them on and off when changing shims. then once its set up press the good bearings on. :thumbsup:

the last thing (for now) that i'm working on, to get it back on the road, is the wheel speed sensor. i drilled a hole in the housing before i got all the gears installed. today (guess it would be yesterday now) i got the block all machined that holds the sensor in place. forgot to take some pics. but today after i get home from work and get some sleep, i should have it welded on. then i can throw the axle in and take it for a burn! :headbang:

nice work. got some pretty good fab skills. wish i had time to do something like that with my cummins conversion.
could you not use like a pop can or something and cut you out a couple shims to space that back to your 0.020???

Thats some nice machine work and fabbing you did there! I think the 37 spline is a good upgrade for the D80's. That, along with the bigger bearings and 4.10's should make for a great rearend for a tow rig. Now the next question is, when are you doing the 4.10's in the front? Or did you do that at the same time, but didn't mention it since it didn't require any fancy fab work?

X2 on the "I need to buy some more tools", having access to the lathe, bridgeport, welders, etc. is nice but only part of the game. You have some excellent fab and machining skills man, takes brains as well for that stuff to come out right and last, keep us posted!!
