 Just trying to save myself a few bucks. Aftermarket gearsets range from $300-400. Used set I can get for next to nothing. I can pick through multiple sets and look for a decent wear pattern. Sorry, I'm just a cheap a$$. lol
  This is also for a car that is going to see limited driving, so a little noise won't bother me.

  Thanks for the info. As stated in my op, I have a complete rebuilt traction-lok that I plan on using. However it's a 3.91 gear ratio and I want to swap it to a 3.00.
  Thanks again, Pete.

  Anybody!?

 Hello. Looking for a 9" 3.00 ring and pinion gear for my KR. I have a buddy with a wrecking yard, so should be fairly common gear to find. Are there different bearing sizes for the pinion? I have a complete "N" case traction-lok set up, but I need to swap in a 3.00 gear. Would the gear sets be the same for passenger car, truck, etc? Don't want to buy the wrong one.
                Thanks for any advice, help.
                                         Pete.

  Haha, thanks Pete. 

 Cast aluminum for an iron bellhousing? Hmm...

  Finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel for KR 4052.
Quick question. What finish should be on the bellhousing (4-speed)? Were they painted with the engine, installed after, partial overspray?
            Thanks, Pete.

 While we are on the topic, do I need any kind of lube on the seal prior to pulling the rope from around the outside? Dish soap or silicone spray or anything like that?
   Thanks, Pete. 

 Getting ready to install the windshield in my KR. Can the molding clips be installed after, or do they have to go on before the glass is installed?
       Thanks, Pete.

 I have been running a Centerforce clutch behind my Cobra Jet for years and highly recommend it. The ease of pedal effort alone is worth it. I have a '69 Fairlane Cobra and those cars use a weak 2 piece equalizer bar in the clutch linkage. After many broken/ welded pieces I finally went with the Centerforce and have had no problems since.

 It's just a driver.

 I prefer my vintage 1951 Shelby bike. lol

  14" x ?

  OK, thanks Pete!

 What style rivets were used for the VIN tag on the dash of a '68? Are they the same as the ones used for the Shelby tag on the inner fender apron?
                 Thanks, Pete.
