Dana 80 differential girdle

bdp said:
I took a stock cover and cut the center out then welded in some flat stock over where the caps are and tapped those for bolts and used a jam nut on them then put a Maghytec over the whole thing so that its kind of layered deal. I bolted the girdle on first and set the preload then took the bolts out and bolted the maghytek back over to load it all down, it is freakin solid now. Also got some ARP bolts to put in the caps to replace the grade 8 junk.

I was very pissed that I broke in the finals at Schieds, driver side cap bolts were about 3/8" longer then they were before allowing it to strip the teeth off the r&p. I had the r%p heat treated to take some hardness out and did all of the other stuff with the girdle and I have pretty good confidence in it now.

Damn Bean - you got any photos of his hot setup?
 
Im a little confused as to what we are talking about here. Are yall talking about the 2 straps that hold the carrier in place?
 
K thats what I thought. I guess its something that I need to look in to. I busted my ring and pinion a couple months ago. When I took it apart I found that the driver side strap was broken in half.

I didnt take any pics but it worked so nice I thought about making something to sell just have not got around to that yet. Just need a plasma cutter, welder, 1/2" bolts/nuts, some flat stock and some free time.
