These work pretty well, nut are a ton of work.

Many years ago, when I first met an old 4e4 machinist. He explained how he made a ‘bullet proof’ rear end for old (model A) race cars. With axles that he machined to just be easily installed/and or removed.
He had just finished the last one he ever made. He said each unit took a ton of work and was expensive to make. I tried to ‘bribe’ him to do one more…. No dice !
Some guys, maybe dead by that time, had the ultimate durable non slip hot rod rear ends. He said… never made many such rear ends. Mainly for racers.
