I read the title and thought you took a vacation to Cincinnati OH

I was inspired by the "Looking for hot singles in your area" thread!

Where did you get the sweet aluminum spacers and cap?

I machined the spacers and cap myself

Nice work indeed

Toyranausor had some (spacers, not cap, that cap is lovely btw!) for sale a while ago...

(based on my recommendation, btw...)

... he might still have a few!

Thanks guys, I enjoy making things

Some parts for the Stealth came in today. Avid bearings, 9601 top shaft and other misc. parts.




Some kind of goof up with the diff. kit, rings are to big. I already had some of the correct ones so everything is cool.

Yeah that’s the diff rebuild for gt/t2/etc. The original 2.25 stealth rebuild is easiest to source as a TC3 rebuild kit part number 3926

Thanks for the scoop, Jeff. Glad I didn't buy to many of them!

Here's a prototype 6 gear bearing dust cap from this morning... It needs some changes to dimensions but is a good first try IMO. The diamond knurling was a bit of a chore for my old Taig lathe, belt started slipping so had to back off before I got it as deep as I wanted. I have about a 10" length of 1/2" dia. aluminum round bar so plenty to goof around with!
