Ok so I am going to build another 14 bolt front axle. I need some answers, rather than retubing the long side, what if I machine out the inside of the tube on the diff side, and machine the outside of the tube to be added to it, and weld them together so the tube is longer(BTW this idea was suggested to me from one of the Owners at S&N fab in Wa., they were supposed to do my first axle but I changed my mind.)? Next question is how bout some suggestions for the axle seals? I was considering a machined tube that would fit inside the axle tube with o-rings on the outside, and an axle seal on the inside. Yes I know they sell these but I haven't found them for anything but the D30 or the D44. I know I seem like a douchebag, but that is no cause for not helping. If you really need drawings, I will draw something on AC.
