Sweet.

So is the shaft small enought to fit in with the Tracker flange/nub welded on (snip)


I just re read this... No welding.. I think it will bolt in if this works. 3 spacers will be added. It will require 2 toy shafts, and 2 toy lockouts.

So it'll fit into the Trackick knuckle, and the Toy lockouts will bolt right onto the knuckle as well?

Yea, but the axle stub is too long so it will require a spacer. Were making it like a wheel spacer. 6 countersunk holes and 6 studs.

So are you gonna be selling kits? I'll offer my help as a tester. That means I get a set for free, right ;D

But yeah, if you're selling the spacers, I'll probably buy one if it all works out.

Hey Mike, just wondering how the Toy CV's are progressing?From what I gather the Toy safe operating angle is 22 degrees which isn't any better but the strength certainly will be a bonus. Will this mod work for stock 22 & 26 splines or is it for widened Calmini setups? Will having the Anvil make it easier? Looking forward to more details when you can.

I'm gonna assume that this is being designed to work with the anvil, because I believe Mike mentioned bolting it up to the flanges and using an adapter/spacer to mount the toy lockout... stock kick front diffs only have 1 3-bolt flange, where the anvil has 2.

But we'll have to have Mike let us know, because I could be wrong :-/

Yea the Anvil would make it easier. Untill I get some product back from the machinist so details are rough. I think they will fit many different setups but will install differently at the inner cup.

 8) I've been considering an Anvil so I guess this is just one more reason.

progress is comming...

Ive been working 6 days a week for quite a while now... not much time on my hands. The Idea was actually me and another guys Idea, since Ive been working so much He has pretty much taken over on the project. We got 2 of the 3 pieces back the other day, very nice quality  ;D We are going to I have a test fit by the end of the week. On the downside... We just got the bill for the machinework.  :'( A little higer than we had hoped for... if everything works out mabey we can negotiate his price. Sounds like Kerry has got something in the works too (tora tora) so one way or the other it would seem the tracker CV problem is going to be soon resolved.  ;)
