I use a 30 bar. 30 seconds both sides.

If have time you can pass me around.

Impossible..... literally impossible.....post up a vid then....

Mongo the Mechanic yes i measured off of the s10 then went of the center line of this axle. The spring perches off the s10 werr about the same so i just used this axle to measure those

I was wonder the same thing because just by cutting the one side of the 8.8 it is still wider then the stock s10 rear so how would you put the perches back on by measuring from the axle end. Look like they would be to wide

@@tavorislevy5476 he measured the perches on the original axle, center to center. Then measured the width of the new narrowed axle. You subtract the overall narrowed width by the measurement taken of the original perch. Take that figure and divide by 2 and that tells you how far to measure in from the end of the tube to the center of where the perch will be. You are right in that it will be a little wider over all by only cutting one side. About 1/2" per side.

@@mlone7 exactly but for most guys being able to use another factory axle and only having to narrow and weld one side is worth the half inch extra width per side. There's ways to deal with it and it's rarely a problem but I recommend everyone buying wheels to wait till after.

@@southjerseysound7340 Yes. Can change the offset of the wheel. I totally agree to wait till later to buy your wheels. After everything is done with the setup of the diff and your front end. This was basically playing around on my part to go this route.

@@mlone7 it's truly a great rear for the money and I put about 50k miles of abuse on mine and that was with the Crown Vic police center section from a wrecked police car. I had less than$300 total in it for my S10. About the only thing I'd do differently would be cutting and narrow the tube instead of drilling the plug welds from the housing and welding the shortened tube back in. But at the time there weren't videos on how to do it and we felt it was easier to get everything straight that way. I'd also recommend bracing it when you're at it. Lastly proper planning builds has saved me a fortune compared to friends but it takes more time. Like everything there's trade offs.

I have 1 ready just gotta upload!!

Do more research in doing it yourself. Sadly this guy did not prep or setup right for the video and it probably warped even using a tig machine. He left out some good info and i would not pay anyone to do what he just did. Its easier than you think. My suggestion, do it your self but use two 3" C channel about a foot long on either side to center the tube. Tack in2 places measure all four opposing sides to make sure its straight and weld two opposing sides let cool than weld the other 2 sides. And save yourself $$$ Aunt nothing to it chicken wing.

Spose i never thought of that..thanks homie

I will buy them from strange engineering

@@sbdfabrication2694 How much do they cost?

Does strange sell the rotors in that pattern also

Yes, as long as its 220 power. If its not you could do a few passes instead of 1

@@josepadilla7981 crank the heat up and have a good extension cord, or plug it right into the wall

With the 8.8 one side is longer than the other so you just cut the long side down to the length of the short side. Then you can use a short side axle shaft on both sides.

@@evansautomotive307 If you only shorten one side, doesn't that move the 3rd member in that direction?

I'm with you bud. I don't understand how.it wouldn't.move the 3rd member to one side. And if you shorten the long side to equal the short side, what length of housing do you end up with?

@@kevinbrown1629 You cut the long size to match the short side, making both axle tubes the exact same length which puts the 3rd member in the middle. This makes the axle 56 inches

@@kevinbrown1629 minus 2 7/8 inches off long end that is rearend housing width.

band saw and not cheap either

you can mig tig or stick weld them

I have one to do right now actually but just using the stock mustang 8.8 and adding the 9inch ends

SBD Fabrication awsm. So ur going to narrow and install 9" ends on a 8.8 right? Will u do a video of the build? Thx bro
