[QUOTE="Pook, post: 1251409, member: 16813"] Front diff is almost all done, just needs a few more gussets and the steering ram mount made. I preheated the diff and used the 99Ni arc welding rods to scab all the plate onto the center chunk, then peened the hell out of it and let it slow cool over night in the powdercoating oven at my Dad's shop. Not to impressed with the "look" of the arc welding but its beefy. I did a lot of rossete welds through the plates. When I moved the links in towards the center for more tire clearance I ended up having the passenger mount 1/2 way onto the cast. I didn't trust it so today I reworked the outer tabs to take the stress off the inner tab, and finished welding up everything I could on the front diff. [/QUOTE]
