cheapest place to purchase 9" third members?
i have searched and looked but i cannot find a 9" third member than can handle more than 450 hp, and the ones that can cost upwards of 1200 bucks..... is there a place anywhere that sells a third member that can hold 700hp for say 800?
thank you

I use a factory C7AW case using 3.060" bearings with no problems. I use 31 spline Strange axles with a Strange steel spool. Unknown brand 4.56 gears with small diameter pinion. Solid crush sleeve.
I have an aluminum spool but I'm waiting until I get an aluminum third member before I install it.

weak
i found some third members on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...spagenameZWDVW
they can handle up to 450 hp but the guy said they could not warranty it past that, he also said he could build me a custom member with richmonds, and a detroit locker...... i'm just worried about one that can handle maybe a trip to the track once a month if that....

Nothing wrong with Motive gears. People are always hung up on brand names. For all I know, the gear set in my car is Motive. Local speed shop sells a lot of Motive gear sets too.
