Weld-on 9" axle flanges for housings with 3" or 3.5" OD tubes are the best way to set up your fabricated housing for semi-float axles. These bearing ends are machined to slip over the outer-diameter of the tube, vs a butt-welded alternative. Machined from a solid billet of 1018 cold rolled steel and drilled with three extra bolt holes, these ends are the ultimate in strength and reliability.

Add a set of shims and backing plate retainers to be able to utilize all seven bolt holes for maxinum strength. For use with Timken "Kit 20" bearing kits.

FINALLY.

the butt weld version from moser and strange is way ghetto

That is a nice piece (as is most of your stuff)! Are there any plans to make full float spindles the same way for those guys who want to narrow thier 14 bolt, 60 (or whatever)? Even to be able to make the 9" or toy axle FF?

Sweet, I been wondering the best way to cap off the ends of my Spidertrax 3.5" tube housing, now I know!

What size bearings do these require? Looks like I will have to pull off my wheels and brakes to see what I have in my EB9.

Timken set 20, commonly available at your parts store. The set 20 accepts up to 35 spline.

As far as a FF conversion....we have it in the works, that's why we opted for 7 bolts on the flange :D

Well Damn...I was wanting to convert a D60U to semi float (non c-clip) earlier this year but settled for a standard D60 since the 3.5" ends weren't available.

Bump for a great product.

are you going to make these with the new smaller bolt pattern instead of the Old Ford big bolt pattern?

Still could use the outer measurement of the bearing hole to see if I need to convert my sealed bearinged Strange axles.

I have been tryin to google this axle bearing for dimensions to no avail.

So the millions of factory semi-float and full float axles out there are ghetto also?

My moser sealed bearings on my 35 spline shafts fit right into the ford big bearing ends that had Timken Set20 bearings in there before...
HTH

Can you tell me how thick are the flanges? I've bent the 3/8" flange running the tire at speed into a rock and I'm looking for something a little more heavy duty.

How about a FF kit for a D44?

I welded a pair of these (3.0" version) onto some tubes this weekend. They worked out way better than a butt welded style. The material seemed a little "soft" in comparison to the 1026 DOM I was welding it to. The bearing cup undercut easier than the tube, almost like welding cast iron but not as drastic.

1018 has a slightly lower carbon content than 1026 which is why you might have seen this effect.

.32" is the number. Thanks

Got mine at the door today along with the square tube adapters, that many others were so hesitant to make up. Very nice work.

Can you make them thicker?

Can you make them thicker?

Just curious Why? You will bend the flange of the actual shaft before you bend the housing end... The housing end does not support any load at the actual flange. All load is inside where the bearing rides and in the carrier.....

Axle flange is a little over 3/8" inch. And I'd like them thicker because I've bent the flange where the 4 bolts are.

That is very uncommon. The flange itself should not have any load on it. Any load is inside the flange. do you have any ideas how that bend? Anyone have anything similar to that happen?

The only thing I can think is if you took a hard side hit but that should bend your actual flange of the axle before it bends the axle flange.

Im just curious

I don't think it will be as uncommon anymore. Out here we rock race rather than crawl. A hit at speed is bound to bend something and the axle flange is the thinnest metal. I've also seen a friend bust the flange on the axle but the flange was thinner. So it would be nice to have a thick flange that has some meat on it where the four bolts go in. It is either a thicker semi float flange or run full float ends. Since it is a machined piece I would think it would be fairly easy to not turn down the material as much.

Subscribed. Should be ordering in the next few days

3.125" ends now in production, order from webpage!

-Jeff

Ordered a set of 3.125 yesterday.

Thanks, they should start shipping early next week as they come off the machines.

Jeff

Ordered Yesterday also.
Looking forward to starting on this project.
Thanks

How is this coming?

It's not an active project but could be in the near future.

Jeff

:smokin:looking to full float the rear in a 5 lug pattern within the next year.

Got the ends on the 25th.
Thanks for the quick delivery and the awsome product.
Will be using them this weekend.
Thanks

Have the 3.125 started shipping yet? Do you plan on making a 3.250?

Yes as far as I know they've been done for almost a month now. No plans for 3.25 at this point.

Jeff

So any chance of getting a set of these without the big ford bolt pattern?

Recieved my 3.125 ends yesterday. Thanks

Any timetable on this? Looking at a couple options, but would go Ballistic before the others if it was available.

x2 would really like to see this happen

Any ideas on a disk brake setup w/e-brakes for these? I was hoping to use the ford explorer setup but to do that I will have to weld up the holes and redrill the backing plates. Wilwood wants twice as much for their setup.

Check dutchman for the ford explorer kit with the big ford bolt patern 1/2 bolt. I just went threw this..
