bho722 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Glad to see this still moving forward! Have an engine, transmission, and all the fun stuff just waiting for a rear end that can handle 6-700hp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now looking for another company for future orders, because there is no excuse for this. Did you give the shop a sketch of what you wanted them to do? I find that verbal and even written text instructions get screwed up or lost in translation. I would make a quick sketch of the stock and modified version and write "WAS (stock)" and "IS (modified)" by each sketch. That way it's clear what you want and if they screw that up then there REALLY is no excuse and it is easy to point to the requirements (dimensions) on the sketch.

I literally sent them a sample, and gave them written instructions that were a reflection of that sample. Plus i sent them both stars as well.

Invincibleextremes Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Assembled them. Planning on putting them in and seeing how short they are, or if they work. Working with another axle manufacturer to make a small batch that i can sell to who ever buys the mount... because i don't want anyone going through what i went through just to get a pair of shafts.

They're much smaller then Mosier, but big enough to not screw it up when you explain what you want. Second on Dutchman. Best axle supplier I used when I was making stuff. It was done right, first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Currently away travelling for work, but before i left, i mounted the setup again to measure axle movement and to see how everything works together and I'll be able to drive the car once i get back and plumb the brakes up. I do have a company making axle shafts from scratch through a member here. Heat treated new shafts instead of cut down junkyard cores. Hopefully those work out quality wise, and that will be the final piece of the puzzle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Still away working, but before i left I was able to grab a pic of my old 240z stub axle compared to the 32 spline end of my 2015 mustang cv end. Definitely a night and day difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wongboh Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Subscribed. I was tossing around the idea of building a jig to shorten the super 8.8 assembly and mount in my Z but this seems like a much easier option and will let me get my Z back on the road sooner. Thanks for tackling this project on and bringing an affordable option to market. I would be interested in the tack-welded kit.

I should be back to work on it on the 25th, and I'm still waiting to see how the new batch of axle shafts turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invincibleextremes Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Back in town and working on a couple cradles for a couple guys who want them here and now. Still waiting on the axle shafts. $255 per shaft if bought in bulk and they're made from scratch, and heat treated after. Got my hopes up, because these would be just the ticket to assemble on factory 2015 mustang cv axles. Mind you the factory axles use a hollow shaft on the left side... and these new ones don't. I'll post some pics soon of the cradles and hopefully have news on the shafts. Fingers crossed I'm dealing with good people... would be nice to have 500hp at 4,000 lbs capable cv axles for under $700 a pair... plan B is the $1,300 ones rated to 800hp at 4,000 lbs but thats a good bit more money.

egzlilgituarboy9 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 so how many cradles will you be making and how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Currently only planning on making 3 right now. I can make as many as people want really. Edited June 13, 2019 by Invincibleextremes Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcrDavid Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Sign me up for a set. Finally reached my goal with the tired welded r200 and stock half shafts. So I’m ready for an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Not a problem. I can make as many as there is demand for. And who ever is on the fence can always just wait for results from either my car or another customer before contacting me for anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wont treat it light either. Ive been putting this r200 through the ringer. Almost 700wtq in first with slicks. 2nd gear clutch dump burnouts. And planning on more power and more tire.

Invincibleextremes Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Thats close enough i guess. Should i make you a set from this batch? The guy I'm working with who's helping with the axles is in California as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
