Gary is now assembling the posi unit after polishing.
Here is his commentary on the process.
Here I radiused the spider teeth to prepare to tune them. I used new solid steel clutches, new cross shaft, retainers, and washers. Next up the tuning process starts. Unlike a stock posi, where the spider lash is set between 002-008" and then the plates and springs are stuffed in there, I will set the posi up to a balanced, much more precise unit then any stock or rebuilt vette posi. where it is now I could just use the springs but it really works better to put the time and machine work in to tune them.
Pictures Parts laid out
Cross shaft and steel clutches
Radius Spider Teeth
Ready to Tune
Next series will be the tuning
