    Is anyone willing to lend me theirs with a deposit?

    Maybe I'm too OCD, but I'd like to have a photo of all the different sets of axles together. I can mark it up with dimensions as well. Another thing I'd like to get is a list of the spline diameters and sizes from the axle shafts themselves and the outer CV joints.

      I have 5 E34 front axles and two more on the way ;) And i paid like $3-400 for all 7 together :D They are in diffrent condition though...
      I could lend you but the shipping might fuck it up :S

      Small update, ZF gearbox now mounted to the engine! Without TC for now, might need to make clearence in two places in trans tunnel :P Like if there wasnt enough to do already....

        Awesome!!!!! If you dont mind me asking, how are you going to actuate the coupling in the e34 transfer case?

            I sure dont want you to think I wont work with you. Im still happy to take pics and any measurements you could need.

            Other than chris and I, I cant think of anyone else here in the u.s. with a set.

              pretty sure I already took pics of E34 axles next to E30 axles. I don't have any E46 axles though.

                  Had to take one of the E34 TCs apart to see what it looks like inside :)
                  Any similarities to the E30 TC?
                  Going to disassemble the clutch unit tomorrow!

                    yeah, it's really similar. the chain is wider (it can hold more torque, but according to borg warner the E30 chain is more than strong enough), and of course it has the electronic lock instead of a VC, but otherwise it's the same idea.

                    post up lots of pics! I don't think I've seen more than 1-2 E34 t-case pics online, ever.

                      Nisse, are you going to modify the planet carrier to carry 6+ pinions instead of just 3? ;)

                        why? is it necessary even slightly?

                            the 700hp E30 ix drag racer hasn't broken one. I think he'll be OK. ;)

                                Any specific pics or just pics of everything? :)

                                Yeah i hope so! I will start with a ~350hp M50B20 and then when everything is sorted out throw in my built 764whp M50B28 :D Hopefully boost by gear will help the durability.
