That looks beautiful. And I have no doubt your work is the very best.
For us guys that choose to work on our own cars. Unfortunately not a lot of help for us.

No, I don't sell these direct, just in my builds. I think they're best out there and in standard or HD.

These I just finished yesterday. 005-008" endplay in a polished, tuned, milled, and cryo treated posi.

Good luck.



What do they measure from the tip to the c-clip ? I would like to compare to what I have to see how much wear I have vs new / rebuilt.
