Interesting... Does anyone know if the Neon axle is slightly different than the 2GNT axle?

OBX has had a hard time getting the c-clips right on a lot of applications. They either don't taper the back side of the hole on their early designs which locks the axle in the diff (oops major problem) or in this case don't get the measurements right.


I say screw the c-clips they don't do anyting when the axle is installed anyway as I stated in the previous post. Other than that and a few other minor machining issues the OBX is worthwhile. It isn't as nice as a Quaife but hey it isn't the cost.
