OK folks, getting caught up on stuff and I have not heard back from DSS in a while. Their last update was that they could no longer get the inners from GKN and were not interested in tooling any up....

They are not going to make the inners, so guessing cores.

Wastelands Warrior - Which cores did you send them?

Just getting caught up, are you also talking with DSS about these?

Still getting the run-around... will call again this week...

I've talked with some that had to cut PS axles (stock or DSS same) and other that haven't had to cut them. Not sure if they are running the A555/568 quaife or T350 quaife and also not sure if they...

Yes it is, and I've been talking with them after a long hiatus so hoping we can get it figured out.
