When my partner showed up this morning I had the housing ready to pull out. One thing led to another and we were headed to town to pick up his torch and welder. Long story short is the perches are repaired, reinforced and the housing is back under the car ready for battle. Plan on being back at Bowling Green this Saturday to pick up where I left off.

Had this almost happen to me too about a year ago. I was turning my drive shaft by hand. When it locked up on me. Which made my heart skip a beat. Opened the rear cover. And low and behold. Three teeth stripped off the ring. After only 20 passes. So im looking a little closer at the ring. And realize that its a "street gear" What the hell! This is a full race rear end. 40 spline axles, 5/8 studs, race brakes. The whole nine yards. So i gave them a call. And they just turned it back on me. "Well we really dont know what transpired when i ordered it". Are you kidding me. So anyway, the point to my quote. When i took the rear to have the new "RACE GEARS" installed. I noticed the same distortion happening to my perches. I just staightened them. And boxed them just like you did. Ive put another 50 passes on them without any problems. And i hit it them pretty hard. Im running a D/S 66 chevy II. If i get really motivated next winter. I might replace them with Caltracs. Moser's equipment is slightly cheaper. But they have a few screws loose working there.
