Yeah, I think I paid like $22 or something for the pins and springs when I lost the ones that came with my front locker.

Thanks for the help guys but I don't need to drive it right now. I got my crush sleeve eliminator spacer lathed down at work today so I can hopefully do one final set up of the gears.

Yeah, it took me forever to find that damn 12 point 12mm socket in my toolbox, almost gave up.
Anyways I welded the perches up last night, I'll do shock mounts today and do a final install of the gears, hopefully drivable in a week.

Well I finally rolled it out of the shop last night, still need a rear driveshaft and swap the e brake cables but it's out of the way in the shop now. Need to figure out what I'm going to do for a D-shaft, either shorten the sploder one or get the u-joint flange off of a 90+ ranger, the sploder uses bigger u joints than my driveshaft. I think but I'm not sure my shaft is 1310 joints and the sploder joints are 1330. Maybe just use a conversion joint, I dunno. As you can see I welded the shock mounts up levelish with the tubes so they don't hang down like stock. I pray my gear install is right.

91-94 sploders were 1310 joint...rear flange yoke should work fine...

Or, do you have a 1210 joint shaft in your BII?

I guess mines a 1210 then, I just pulled the flange from a 90+ ranger 7.5 since it used the bigger bolt pattern but the joint was the same as on my driveshaft.

I did just drive it, drives great, the gears are perfect and the initial impressions on the Aussie is that it's smoother than my lock-right.

On a side note I'm picking up a 92 sploder sport 5 speed tomorrow, guy broke an auto hub during the snow and is selling it, other than dent in the passenger door it's pretty clean outside and the inside is about perfect with a tan interior. I test drove it drives good but 3.27s bring the suck :puke: Should be a more comfortable DD and something to drive when I break my B2.

You mean in my avatar? Because the front end is jacked up...

Well, I need to drop the tranny out and give it a pilot bearing, shifting is becoming next to impossible. At least I've got the sploder to drive now.

Sorry Pat, unless the sploder driveshaft I have isn't original, it's a 1330. I took the correct flange (from a 91 2.3 2wd ranger, which is my dads friend's, that's why I couldn't keep it) down to Six States today, they confirmed it's a 1310. $30 for the flange.
Here's a side by side of my original 1310 small pattern flange next to the 1310 large pattern.

And here's a comparison of the 1310 flange compared to the sploder flange which I presume is a 1330.

So now I've got a driveshaft again, assembled with new Spicer 1310 greasable joints. I need to spend some time this weekend fixing everything else that's wrong with it.
