Rearend Narrowing Fixture Bushing & Rearend Ruler - Dana 60 - Mopar & Ford Ends

Description

Here we have the tools needed to hold a Dana 60 rearend housing in alignment when you are narrowing, assembling or changing the width.
Included are.....
The Rearend Ruler allows you to make critical measurements on your Dana 60 front and rear axles by locating the correct centerlines or inner axle point.
You simply bolt the Rearend Ruler in place over where four of the cover bolts on your bare housing and then hook your tape measure in the appropriate slot to make and take measurements. (use bolts and spacers included)
The Rearend Ruler has the following slots or cut-outs………
AXLE C/L
– This half moon shaped cut-out represents the axle centerline of the housing.
Pinion C/L
– This quarter moon shaped cut-out represents the pinion or yoke location.
Pinion C/L
– This slot represents the pinion or yoke centerline at the axle centerline. If you are building a ‘Centered Pinion’ rearend housing, you would use this slot.
Housing C/L
– This slot represents the housing centerline. If you are building a ‘Centered Housing’ rearend you would use this slot. This slot is also the differential centerline. If you wanted to build a rearend with both axles the same length you would use this slot.
P/S Axle
&
D/S Axle
– These two slots allow you to determine the axle length required if you have a finished housing. You would hook your tape measure in the appropriate slot and measure to the end of housing. Then add the ‘Brake Offset’ you are using. The ‘Brake Offset’ is the distance from the housing end to where your wheel bolts on. The most common brake offset for the Dana 60 rearend is 2.36”, although measure yours before you start to verify what you have. Front axles, ¾” ton and 1 ton axles may vary.
No more guess work or complicated math.
One pair of housing end bushings or rings that have the common 2.875" Mopar housing end diameter on one side and the 3.15" Big Ford/Early Olds/Pontiac housing end diameter on the other. This gives you the choice of using either the stock Mopar ends or the Ford ends.
One pair of lock rings to hold the above bushings in place on the shaft.
And one pair of bushings or rings that would fit in the Dana 60 differential case that measures 3.812". These bushings fit where the differential bearings would normally be. The bearings and races used are normally Timken 387A & 382S.
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.
