Rearend Upright Strap Thickness Requirement

Just so no one gets confused if they happen to find out their rear end uprights aren't .083 wall, the spec Greg quoted is the faster 2.2 spec (5.99 and quicker). The 2.4 spec (6.00-7.49) calls for a minimum .058 upright.

Thanks FF - yeah the rearend plates are indeed 1/4" - it's the uprights that are 3/16" so it looks/reads like we're good. Yeah you're right...just a little inline 6 with not much power but plan to run it monthly in our Vintage Drag Racing club.
Also - great article you wrote in this months 12 Port News!! Looks like an awesome little project and looking forward to seeing more about it in future issues.

My bad - I thought you meant the plates on the axle itself. Nevertheless I'd say you're good.
Thanks for the kudos. Stay tuned for the second article in the series of four.

I won't bash you to hard since the computer I'm typing this on is the one you built me.
