rotorwrench! That web site is not in service and the new site: https://www.justdifferentials.com/category-s/3484.htm only show 3.08 as the highest ratio. I have mailed them and asked if 2.72 is available after all, but no answer as of yet. Many thanks :)

Thanks rotorwrench, I mailed Randy's some days ago but haven't heard back. They don't show the 2.72:1 ratio, but maybe they know who might carry them. This company offer rebuilt Corvette rear end...

Picture of my axle housing. This is from Wikipedia: General specifications Ring gear measures 8.5 in (216 mm) Ring gear measures 8.9 in (226 mm) OEM Inner axle shaft spline counts are 10, 19, 29, 30, 32, 33 and 35 Pinion shaft diameter: 1.375" (most Dana 44s) 1.625" (JK rear 8.9" Dana 44s)...

Thanks Sal, Yes, 2.72:1 was the highest gearing (low number) from DANA. Drivetrain Spec.had nothing on their site, but I have sent an email just in case. Chris

Hello, I'm trying to find a 2.72:1 ratio ring & pinion for a DANA 44 axle - new or good used Any help would be appreciated Shipping to California - not Sweden Regards, Chris

I have decided on the BOSCH Classic turn-signal switch # 0 341 810 013 with integrated headlight-flasher function (right picture) I will make a housing similar to the VW assembly.

Hello! Since the bracket arm will be 10+ inches, I'm afraid the hinge mount version will be too weak and flexy, so I think it will be better to install the bracket on the hinge pillar instead and have a sturdy tapping block inside the pillar :)

I appreciate the ingenuity, but since my truck is fully restored, I will try what I suggested above

If inner and outer rims doesn't make contact there will be a lot of bending forces added to the wheel studs on top of the tensile force which normally is the only force on a bolt under tension. I think 3/8" spacers with full contact is as far as you can go. Otherwise you need an adapter of this...

You are absolutely right Bob, but as you said it's close enough. It struck me that a marine stanchion would be the perfect rod. Just make the hinge mount, weld it on and you'll have a beautiful bracket...

I think it would be an easy thing to make a mirror bracket like AA-17697-B. Machine a tapered rod and weld on the fittings in each end and this bracket will fit the 6x10 mirror I suggested.

I found this mirror locally. It's 6x10 and adjustable in any direction. https://www.abkati.se/catalog/product/view/id/4891/s/spegelhuvud-257x155-mm-r-2000/category/567/ The big knob can be replaced with a bolt. Are the Ford mirror brackets being reproduced?

Looks like modern FORD units

I've looked at the original mirrors that were available, https://aafords.com/aa-body-types/body-details/mirrors/ but they are too small and I think that's a safety issue. I drive my truck frequently and would feel much more secure on the road being able to see the cars around. In addition, I...
