Easy pinion depth technique

[Warthog]

Ok I’m sure there are those like me that just want an easy and non complicated way to resolve pinion depth. What I did was take part of a boomerang shackle bracket and layed it on the carrier bearing bracket mount…on the housing itself the flat part, bolt hole to bolt hole. Make sure it’s flat. Measured to the pinion head with no shims just setup race and bearing in. Then subtracted 2.25 from it and pow perfect pattern. Make your own setup race. A dremel and a stone attachment takes about two songs to do. Setup bearings took about one song. Used that Vermeer caliper. Measure the thickness of the shackle or whatever you use and zero that way you can get a better measurement then try to see the line at the bottom of you cross piece. May not be correct ship way but will get you in the ballpark to start running test patterns. Peace
