Made in the USA - Good luck with the others.....If you need tech advise, just ask.

Here we have the tools needed to hold 6.75” Ford, 7.5” Ford, 8" Ford, 8.8" Ford, 9" Ford, 8.25” Mopar, 8.375” Mopar, 1976-88 7.5" GM, 10 bolt GM up to 1987 and 1964-72 12 bolt GM rearend housings in alignment when you are narrowing, assembling or changing the width.

Included are.....

One pair of housing end bushings or rings that fit either the 8.8" Ford Truck & Big GM housing ends that use the 2.535" o.d. bearing (R1559TV) or the 8.8" Ford car & Small GM housing ends that use the 2.25" o.d. bearings. (R1563TAV) ( 8.8" Fords also used some oddball bearings, so check what size you have) (R1559 and R1563 are repair bearings for this application. They show a larger o.d. because they fit where the seal is normally)

One pair of housing end bushings or rings that fit either the Big Ford housing ends that use the 3.15" o.d. bearing or the Small Ford housing ends that use the 2.835" o.d. bearings.

One pair of lock rings to hold the above bushings in place on the shaft.

One pair of bushings or rings that would fit in the 8" Ford, 9" Ford, 7.5" GM and 10 bolt GM differential case that measures 2.891". These bushings fit where the differential bearings would normally be. (LM102910, LM102911, LM501310 or LM501314)

And one pair of bushings or rings that would fit in the 8.8" Ford, aftermarket 9" Ford & 12 bolt GM differential case that measures 3.06". These bushings fit where the differential bearings would normally be. (LM603011 & LM603012)

Not designed for the GM B-O-P rearends that have bolt-in axles. This kit is for GM rearends with c-clip style axles.

All three are designed to be used with a 1 1/4" o.d. alignment shaft and the bushings are machined from 6061 aluminum right here in good old Missouri.

6061 aluminum is the material of choice for Dart aluminum engine blocks, Aeroquip AN fittings, aluminum racing flywheels, OHC camshaft sprockets, etc. These are just bushings and will see no wear or abuse and should last a lifetime.

The 1 1/4" shaft IS NOT included in this listing.

Due to the high shipping cost of a solid steel bar five feet long , we suggest you source the alignment bar locally or online. Most people use a 1 1/4" o.d. 1018 solid steel cold rolled shaft 60" – 72” in length. The common bar diameter of 1018 cold rolled steel is 1.248” and works well. The industry standard for 1018 round bar is .002” smaller than the stated diameter. Chrome Moly, Stainless Steel and tubing may be larger than the 1.248" required. SpeedyMetals, OnlineMetals and DiscountSteel are a good source for the bar although you should be able to source it from a local welding or steel shop. Obviously the shaft needs to be straight, not rusty and the proper length for your project. Lightly lubricate the bar with oil.

We also have kits for 7.5" GM, 10 bolt GM, 12 bolt GM, 57-64 Olds, 59-64 Pontiac, 8.25" Mopar, 8.375" Mopar, 8 3/4" Mopar, Dana 35, Dana 44. Dana 60, 6.75" Ford, 7.5" Ford, 8.8" Ford, 8" Ford and 9" Ford. Check our other listings.
