Seems like in a machine shop a swamp cooler would oxidize fresh metal pretty quickly. When we first moved into this house the dryer was vented into the attached garage. I always felt that it wasn't doing any good to the elky or my wifes car. I eventually vented it thru the roof. I keep a little W40 on finished parts for storage. No big trouble with rust in the 8 yrs we have been running them. We keep the door open when using them.

The locker was "twitchy" on the road, you could be driving along in a straight line and it would unlock shifting the rear end hard left.

I hate to burst you bubble, but it just does not work that way. Unless someone on the list can help the rear housing, when it was manufactured was put on machines to center the alignments where the shafts go into the differental. You don't just buy of get a set of caps because they may have more or less material removed and expect hem to match the saddles.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Parts
If you did find a set of caps, couldn't you plastigage them like main caps to see if they met tolerance? Of course you can't buy under/over size carrier bearings like you can main bearings, but you could test fit some replacement caps, couldn't you? Just a thought.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Parts
I think I remember from my drag racing days that Mark Williams probably some others had a steel replacement cap for 12 bolts that made the rear stronger. I don't think that you had to do any machining to use these caps. If you aren't using it for a racing application, I would think that you could pull some caps off of another housing use them without any problem. The front of the bearings are going to seat in the front caps, so any alignment would be done at that point. The rear caps are there to hold the bearing in place, and as long as they will tighten down the bearing race, that should work fine. Just my 2 cents.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Parts
Any cap but the original would have to be machined Larry (Z)
Re: [Chevelle-list] Parts
Are you positive about that? Here's the MW deal, I found my old catalog, it says nothing about any machining. http://www.markwilliams.com/esell/prodlist.asp?catid=1028 BillL At 09:35 PM 11/27/2005, you wrote: Any cap but the original would have to be machined Larry (Z)
Re: [Chevelle-list] Parts
I was always told that it couldn't be done without machine work. According to the specs at Markwilliams.com it states "Requires simple milling operation" 12 Bolt Steel Replacement Main Cap (ea) One of the most common causes of rear end component failure can be traced to the stock rear end caps. To cure this problem MW makes a replacement cap from billet steel with an increased cross section and heat treated hardware. A 12 Bolt typically only needs the drivers side cap replaced. Requires simple milling operation. Price: $65.00 Larry (Z)
