Looks like Currie sells them in alum. (desc. wrong?) as a kit, $7 ain't bad, shipping's probably more...

2X the cost at Summit? but won't ship until 5/27, bet they're on BO.

Looks like JEGS makes up their own part number but has them in stock for $10.

I don't know how you're going to torque the hub screws w/o an access hole, that would be a good question for Curries tech line, maybe they know a trick.

The studs in the housing are splined and pressed in. If you don't use the copper washers lube can get passed the splines, weep past the threads and cause the rear end to leak. I have put rear ends together with and without the copper washers but you are much better of with them. The gasket alone is not enough.
