The 8 1/4 thread

Most of my gears come from Dakotas (Dana 30) You talking about the other way in a dana 30 no idea I would have to look at a housing to see. Yes it is impossible to do that now a carrier from the 245 going the other way you would need a spacer around 1/2 inch. MEMIKE is going through this right now and is just going to get the right carrier, I have no idea if a spacer would stand up to the forces, plus where would you find left hand bolts that long and strong?
