The shell is 1\/4\" steel with 12 bends and added 3\/16\" armor in high-impact areas, plus 1\/4\" internal gusseting for rigidity. It accepts Ford 9\" third members and allows 9\" or 10\" ring gear setups for high strength builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAxle tubes are raw 3.5\" OD × 0.375\" wall DOM (2.75\" ID) keyed into the face plate and fully gusseted—cut to your width during setup. A weld-in 3\/4\" NPT fill\/drain bung is included; installation requires cutting\/welding, and the breather vent requires drilling and tapping (5\/16\"-18). Center section armor, studs, inner seal surface, and seal set screws are included to simplify final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE: This is a build-to-order product.
