My avatar roadster has a 40 banjo rear end and I sent the housings and ring gear/carrier to a guy in Idaho that modified it to take 9" axles-bearings-brakes but retained the spring hangers so I still have a transverse spring. No worries about a broken axle now.
I think he has retired and his kids are running the machine shop now but still do the work.
They supplied spider gears, not sure what they came from.
