Later model side gears that are compatible with the axles you are using have to added. Then the carrier and ring gear have to be machined to match the side gears. The new axles have to be cut to length and resplined. The ends are cut off the original axle bells and new ends welding on for the axle and backing plates you are using. Mine was a V8 center quickchange setup, but it is basically the same as a standard banjo rear axle machine work wise.

Notice all the tube front axles on the pallet in the last photo? Not all of Speedways stuff is made overseas!
