Default Feeler - Custom axles for a Ford 8.8 Differential

So I am thinking about upgrading my axles for my road-racing 1994 LS1 conversion. The environment is clearly pretty severe on the track so I am considering this as a precautionary measure.

If I do this my existing halfshafts would be up for sale. They would come with inner Ford CV joints that fit a 31-spline 8.8" carrier. The inners are in good condition but will need a fresh set of boots. The outer ends of the shafts are splined to fit the stock Miata outer CV joint. The outer CV joints would not be included. Basically, these shafts let one mount a Ford 8.8 31-spline IRS differential and use your existing outer CVs.

I'll let them go cheap, say $250 plus shipping.

If you are interested send me an e-mail at miata build parts (all one word, no spaces) at gmail dot com.

More goodness. I am probably going to be selling the differential mount kit as well. So it would be everything needed to bolt-in (drill two holes) an aluminum Ford 8.8 differential from a 2002+ Explorer.

This is the stuff from the Racing Concepts kit. Looks like this

They will not fit the Thunderbird diff if it has a 28 spline carrier, which I am 99% certain it does.

I am interested in a set of these if you're still doing them.

LOL I completely forgot about this post until I got the email notification.

So long story short I may be keeping these axles. I have been road racing this year with them and so far they are holding up just fine. I think I still have the mount adapters for the Explorer differential if you are interested in that. Send me an e-mail to the address at the beginning of the thread. I do not come here very often.
