HELLO9 GUYS, IF ANY OF YOU CAN HELP jOHN OR HIS ASSOCIATES, PLEASE DO.
MY THANKS IN ADVANCE, 
BEN FRANKLIN

All,
 
It is rare that I send a mass email, like this  but collectively you represent the smartest group of AMC folks that I know.  Ed and Trey Forrest race a Spirit in SCCA's ITA class.  They are doing exceptionally well but have run into a problem swapping rear axles as described below.  If you have any suggestions on what might be wrong please respond to the three email adresses in the send to list.
 
Thanks 
John Young

>From Ed and Trey Forrest:
 
We are trying to switch the axles from a rear end we ran...2.73 with 10" brakes.

The axles will not fit into the 3.54 carrier.   Both have 27 splines.   The only difference we see is that on the axles we were running with 8" brakes there is a slight bevel before the splines.  On the other 2.73 axles there is no bevel.

Why won't these fit?   There is no end play in the axles we are trying to install...just can't get them to mate into the housing.

Is there a phone number we can call?
