				Short sand car build live axle question
dunefreak replied to dirtflickarooster's topic in Sandrail Talk
Any bearing supply store will have the bearings. You'll just have to measure the diameter of the housing. Not sure on the rotor. I would have to guess 10" though. -

Last year it was still a tad warm, but we went anyways. I'm going to wait and see. -

It's too bad Larry is no longer in business. He would set you up with exactly what you need. I used to own a Short Sand Car. The downside to all SSC's is that many parts of his cars were custom and unique. You couldn't just go buy a spindle, a hub, or a center axle assembly, etc. You had to have him or his machinist build it. If I remember right the rear center section was very simple in design. It was 2 sealed bearings pressed into that center hub, a through-axle shaft with 930 CV flanges bolted to the axle. The CV flanges had flanges that the rotor and sprocket bolted up to. See the attached pic. There wasn't much to it. You're probably going to have to get someone to build you what you need unless you can find a SSC parts car to snag the parts from. picture from the rear section of my first SSC - 
	Riding those dunes at night would be super sketchy this time of year, not to mention HOT. Late in the day is the hottest time of day too. We did that once and it was really sketchy and never seemed to cool down after the sun went down. I think I'm gonna wait until either a break in the weather or wait it out a couple months.

	Thanks Jason. Those summer dune are always interesting. So many of our usual lines were non-existent on Sunday. I hear ya on the sleep. I was cool until I was almost home. I usually don't nap after early summer runs but this one I crashed for about 4 hours when I got home. Then my sleep schedule got all jacked up. Worth it though.
