Post by MotoObscura »

Model number 12156. Will it work? For some reason it is in the b3 section of their site, but the product figment says it's for the b4 and sc10...

Well, I just ordered one for cheap on ebay, so when it gets here we'll do some science.

that won't work in a b3 trans case. the stock b4 topshaft has a separate spacer that goes on the topshaft when used in a b4 case. to use it in any other stealth case the spacer can not be used. the mip shaft has the spacer built in, so you can't use it.

you have to use a stock b4 topshaft (9601 or something like that) to use a modern slipper setup on your b3.

If you're dead set on a MIP you can have a machinist turn down the shaft "built in spacer". I just did one last week, Its pretty simple

Thanks for the tip. I could probably figure it out and do it on my lathe
