Yesir. I ordered the brace and 2 chassis mounts. Let’s see how my luck plays out on this.
GazooRC got a 30DNT

here’s the notch I had to cut to clear that mount.
It worked. She’s in. However the mesh sucks. It’s to tight. It was this way when I took it out of the box though with the stock engine in it. I think I’m going to do away with the spacers and just run washers. Im worried about it loosening up though after running it?

I use button head screws with no washers, I even use them on my 71 big bore with no issues.

Hmmm that’s how my mesh looks with the provided oval washer thingies…
I should probably do this as well so I can back off the mesh a bit.

I've found the mesh inserts to be too loose on the mesh, I smoked a 21t pinion on a 34cc for it being too sloppy and those were TLR inserts to boot.

Lmao classic.
I tried to pop them out with a pick but they are really in there. Going to have to beat em out.
I’ve already moved on to another project. I have some upgrades coming for it. When they come in I’ll take the engine out again and take those inserts out. There’s 1 spot in rotation it’s tight on. Like something is out of round. imo junk! I digress lol

Took the engine back out. Swapped out the clutch spring to a 8k.
I also knocked out the inserts in the chassis so I could adjust my mesh better. Now its perfect.
Replaced the air filter with a shorty to clear the cage.
Replaced the chassis mounts with Taylor mounts.
Replaced the center diff top plate and added a center diff brace.
I also got a Bartolone tuned pipe for it.
I may have to re gear for these Lockups but they are going to rub so once the weather clears I'm going to give it a rip and see how it does. I know some people are going to disagree with me but they really fill out the truck. Stock tires are just so tiny, I hate it!.
