|
|
Here is something we are releasing. It is 100% 4130 Chromoly and is also 100% bolt in.... If your serious about getting rid of wheel hop then this is the ticket. THis will also help tighten up the rear suspension of any type one based car.....
We call it "The Stiffy"

| What would be really good is if Mendeola would produce sequential gear carriers and main cases, for trans that are already out there! |

I am interested in one,
I see that there is the extra pair of bars that runs forward (extra because most kits dont use have those), what would be done to tie them in on a swing axle car?? Would it be a different kit or?? |

Cool! I can only hope they don't use the crummy little 4 bolt retained pinion bearing, and small diameter throwout arm shaft, like the useless Rhino Cases. |
