--- Quote from: "cotefarmboy" ---The anvil job looks a good move, again forgive my ignorance but what is the 3rd member? The anvil kit says it uses the stock ali 3rd member housing and i haven't a clue what that is?

The bit sticking out of the back of the axle (with the prop-shaft flange) is the 3rd member, it's the diff carrier if you like :)
Pointless waste of time replacing the axle for steel and keeping the ali 3rd member in my humble opinion :)
The Calmini Anvil Axle will set you back about £600, you'll need TWO passenger side driveshafts. It's an excellent set up but.............
I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered from LA Supertrux. I ordered it last May. Yes May 2006!!! I got my money back in September and I'm still waiting for the phone call to say it's arrived!!!!!
Plus Calmini conveniently forget to inform you that you have to drill/tap your own breather into the axle, buy another bearing for the axle (the part number that they eventually gave me was incorrect and I'm still waiting for the correct number 9 months down the line)
as you can see in their picture, only one bearing is supplied. Plus the short driveshaft that's supplied is 26 spline, so you'll need a 26 spline solid driveshaft for the passenger side and 26 spline sidegears for the diff.
That's why I fitted a GV steel axle and 3rd member :)
Don't all rush out and buy the Anvil Axle unless you've got the 3" super articulaion kit already fitted.
