To all concerned:
Here's the trauma that I went thru. I had to find a shop capable of
making any size adapter that I needed. I found one that will do it in
11" solid Aluminum, 2" thick for 500.00 (4 adapters). This includes
materials, toolup time, etc.
I then came across a Co. with 11x 2" thick Carbon steel discs. After
taking them to the Machine shop, they cut an exact 4.75" center hole, to
which I mill .790" holes for the M35 studs and the holes for the Dodge
studs. I would advise you to bevel the holes, for the Dodge lugnuts to
seat into. These discs weigh about 75lbs EACH!!! Yikes, but strong as
Hell!
This whole adaption will drop the:
5.83 ratio to 4.78,
4.89 ratio to 4.01
The ground clearance went up 5" and the thing still rolls under the
garage door (windshield down) !
Now to find a SAE #3 bellhousing to mount the Spicer 5speed to the
Cummins 6A3.9TD
diesel. (2" longer than the Flat6), so electric fan I go........
