Default Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series

Friday afternoon we wrap up the Super 10 trans. The only remaining works is rear output shaft support and tail housing install.

In the above post I talked about "personalizing" the build. The last photo is a good example of that. This is a small item but something I prefer to do differently than what came out of the box. You most likely have heard it said, "that is how it came out of the box so that is what I used"

The BTE pan bolts are packaged with star washers but I do not like star washers on aluminum. After a few removals they will dig into the pan. In this case a thick AN washer will be installed.

Same situation with the Reid extension housing bolts, they were packed with lock washers. The same thing as with the star washers, a few removals and the washers will gouge the housing. The fix is the same, thick AN washers.

Saturday morning work turns back to the frame. Stand by for more updates,
