Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Had a junkyard find for a Torino 9in rear end, only $50... even came with a seized axle bearing! Spent $300ish on axle bearings, gaskets and third member rebuild kit.
Got the rear housing mounted on 4-link today and put third member in. Used one of those fancy lubelocker gaskets. I assume some of the brass/copper rings around the third member bolts were crushed washer parts?
Have to wait til tomorrow to get axles in. Need to find someone to press the bearings on.
Wondering tonight what to do with the breather hose. Not sure if I can run a long hose and clip it somewhere or if I need to attach an actual filter/cap/vent.
