Default Another idea for a ridged rear end bar!

Bar from bottom of diff spring mount forward. Lots of attention to detail. Drag vette 1/2 shaft cages required by NHRA. Note aluminum disks on each end of the diff cross-m? They are for solid mounting the diff.

Those have been around for awhile. Motion had one back in the '60s.

That's the idea-- normal torque the pinion wants to climb the ring. The bar is to mount the case a little more solid and keep it from seeing the torque and twisting things.
