i really just want to stay away from c-clips, 90% of the cars i have seen with them leak like a mother fucker. i guess i could hang around and wait for a built rear end to show up for a good price, and then just do a complete rear-end swap.

the 9" axles tubes is a better idea to me than the c-clips, just dont want to hack up my housing to do this. but if that is what i have to do to stay away from c-clips then i guess i will.
