Does anyone make a spool for a 73 cruiser? I need a locker that comes with its own carrier because mine is not useable being we welded it up. If no one makes one i will just go with a detroit.

sounds like you've already got a spool then...

Yea i did. Until it broke again. This has happened 2 times to different carriers. Both were welded up and only lasted a little while. We'll it looks like detroit is what i will be going to. Have you ever seen a good used detroit for sale ever? Maybe someone will chime in with one

Check With Texican. I seem to recall he used a Chevy application one. You might do a search for spool and Texican?

ARB comes with own carrier.
If you want to go welded, a trick is not to weld, but go to a foundry and get them to fill it with aluminium. Takes the pressure off one or two teeth, plus has a little 'give' in it.

fill it? how do you get your c-clips out

Oops! - I'm running full floater - forgot about the C clips - you could probably blank out enough room to fit/remove them...
