1350 Ujoint LT230 and diff flange…updated

So getting some made for my buggy project, is anyone interested in building a stronger DS for their truck…pic's to follow when I get them back from the shop...

Bummer too late for me...

Here's Ver 1.0…this was a cut little too short, but still clears the 1350 ujoint:

Very nice. What about the t-case end?

Very nice. What about the t-case end?

That looks like it's the front output one to me. The rear might be a different story though since it would need to incorporate the brake.

 

[Mongo]

that is the front output housing…part of the 2 piece ds for my buggy. Needed the extra space, attached pic shows it with a lt230 bolted up to a 4L80E...

 

[p m]

very nice - you're on your way to make driveshaft replacement kits!

 

[Mongo]

Working on rear flange and I think I found something that already exists that should work...problem is this ain't cheap...

 

[Trevor]

Did you figure out the rear yet? Was the front a 9" yoke?

 

[Mongo]

yes…the rear has taken a lot more engineering and I'm waiting for ver 4.0 from the fab shop...

 

[Trevor]

I was thinking of machining flanges that accept the ford stuff, then making my own disc brake for the rear output. Or deleting the brake all together.

 

[ezzzzzzz]

I haven't seen a lantern post tool holder since my early days in the shipyard...cool. What 1350 flange did you use to match the diameter and spline count of the LT230?

 

[Mongo]

Ford 9"...

 

[D Chapman]

Doesn't Ashcoft have these flanges already for his 9" kit?

 

[Mongo]

Not that I could find...

 

[D Chapman]

Might be worth an email to Dave. I'm not saying he has them, but I'm not sure what else he would use on his 9" conversion.

[Mongo]

that's a ford flange with the LR bolt pattern, which would probably work if the depth and diameter is correct for the LR 3rd. I'm only doing the LT-230 side...

I did drop him a email though

 

[Trevor]

I couldn't find much for the lt230 side to go 1350 or larger. Only that the ford 9" splines are the same, and to do as Mongo has. There is dana60 to LR, lt230 to 1310 cv. Looks more like we must do as they had to in the past, make our own.

I am thinking of just going 1350 all around. Using ford flanges. But my other thought was Toyota stuff. My buggy was on 4D's, Lincoln lockers, 10:1 t-case, and never had a problem with the toy junk. That was with all used shafts, cut down, homemade. They have the toy flanges for my axles, and 9". But I'm going to investigate the ford flanges more first. I want as much off the parts store shelf stuff as I can, I learned the hard way about "different" and "custom".
