I bet we could come up with a spare TR4 housing and plates to save Chris
some of the shipping costs.

Hi Chris,
As an option to shipping the housing back and forth, I believe just the axl=
es can be purchased from Southwick.  I have purchased replacements from the=
m.  Moser won't sell them direct.  The Ford flanges and C-clips can be purc=
hased separately as well.=20
Then the housing can be modified more locally.=20

Yes, Joe.  I have brought this up to the group before.
Southwick does not true or align the tubes to the housing before welding on=
 the flanges.  They set the Ford flanges on a long straight/solid rod, that=
 is attached at the carrier bearing saddles and sticks out of the axle tube=
s and then weld the flanges on the tubes.  These alignment tools are availa=
ble, for a few hundred bucks.  So, the tube ends will likely be off center =
to the flanges as mine very obviously were if the tubes are not trued.  I c=
alled Southwick about this.  This might not be a big deal to most, but why =
not true the tubes in the housing before welding on the flanges.  The i.d. =
of the flange is larger than the o.d. of the tube and the large gap gets fi=
lled with a big fat weld, instead of using a spacer sleeve.  On a TR3 the b=
ig fat weld fouls the U-bolts so the weld has to be ground down a lot for t=
he U-bolts to fit correctly.  It would be great if the Ford flanges could b=
e made to the correct i.d. for different size tubes. =20

Not too difficult.

What a shame the car rolled. I was working on the engine short before =
the race to make the car going and the laptimes were promising.

After 2 hours the axle broke. Too bad.

larger than the o.d. of the tube and the large gap gets filled with a =
big fat weld, instead of using a spacer sleeve.&nbsp; On a TR3 the big =
fat weld fouls the U-bolts so the weld has to be ground down a lot for =
