    Question Splitting the bones

     



    When you split the bones on a rear end people tell me that it is not strong enough by them selves to work. What else do I have to do so I can use these? Any pictures would help as I really want to use these. I seen Poteet's 1934 Ford and It looked like he had them. It's wasn't a real good picture but it definitely was cool looking. I am going to be using the Banjo rear end.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Bob I did call Hot Rod Works and they are going to build the rear end. I want to use the stock bones off the rear end but someone said you have to use another bar with it because the stock bones aren't strong enough. Maybe I am trying to do something that is not possible. I don't want to use a ladder bar and Bob you obviously didn't read my post clearly.

    Just add the torque arm kit, I make my own as its only a piece of 1" tube, a couple of joints and a couple of brackets
    Its aweful lonesome in the saddle since my horse died.
