The only plus to the Bremar is that he eliminates an extra splined piece on the pinion shaft and includes the rear plate

QUOTE(pploco @ May 29 2019, 11:10 AM)  I guess I'll give it a shot. For 200 bucks I could ruin a lot of 1/2 inch aluminum plate I could help you knock one out fairly quickly. |

They make a "tool" that is about $60 which can be used to lock them together. Much cheaper the one Bremmer sells. I forget where I bought mine but Bob B told me about this place He goes by @BIGKAT 83

The tool is a cast piece and is not meant for actual applied engine force.

Send Ben/MB911 a link to the instructions to modify the stock trans part. Might be a lot cheaper than aftermarket.

I took the plunge and made one out of the broken center diff I had. It wasn't too bad actually, but admittedly my welds aren't the prettiest - so hopefully it stays together.

I used a lock washer and a little locktite, so it shouldn't back off the splines. But here's to hoping this can handle the abuse I'm going to put it through. |

You'll want to flatten that rear edge, you really don't want a vibration in the output shaft
The Bremar is $275 in USD |
