That's tempting... I wonder what the machining would cost.

Correct. That's what it says and shows in the pictures. Skellenger lost that mold. I modified that cover to use as a plug for an epoxy mold. It's very easy to make one and costs about $80 in material. It's the same process Conley uses. Research investment cast or lost wax process to understand.

ok great!! I hate to say that I hope that you don't sell the lot. Im assuming that a hub to attach the ring gear to the axel needs to be fabbed?

For a limited time $6500 gets most of this lot. About 20 rear ends. I will include an epoxy side cover mold. This offer is only through the weekend as I need to get this out of the house before christmas. If no takes it goes back into storage.
