aluminum 9 inch housing
Hi all,
My first post here so be nice! I'll get round to posting something in the intros shortly (wrong way round I know), and a give a few car details there.
To cut a long story short, part of my long term plans for my Cortina is to prep it for fast road and occasional track day use (circuits not drag racing).
I'm considering a currie/strange aluminum 9" housing, but just wondered if the axle tubes are still steel? I presume they are so that ends can be welded on etc.
Therefore how are they fitted into the housing / pumpkin? Are they essentially a press fit?
Cheers guys.
Jono

yes the axle tubes are steel. i had one in my last car i built and loved it. yes they are pressed in and then there is 6 IIRC set screws per side. if it wasn't for building a 3 link in the new project i would install one again for sure.
