Back in 2016 the tripod joints in the '08 essentially exploded during a while John left the pits at Camden. That day John and Skyler were making real progress getting the tune corrected on that car. At that point I made the decision that it was time to remove the spool and go back to the original differential. Based on what I had heard about the issues with the original diff installation I did some design work and had new carrier plates cut using water jet. That project set on the shelf for a long time, but recently I picked the project back up. I can now report that the '08 car is back together and ready to run again. Here are some pictures:
