AMC 20 part 5 - buttoning it up

I found a .250 roll pin fits fine and won't come out.  So now the rear carrier is done.   Over the course of a few years I lost the differential filler plug.  If I remember right it was in poor shape anyways.


This is what you will need to plug the hole.  It is a brass pipe plug you find in the Home Depot plumbing department.  Nice thing about brass it won't rust solid.


It will also look really nice on a freshly painted rear end.   It does not stick out that far, I just have it in by a couple threads.  When you are ready fill the rear end up with 80w-90 oil to the bottom of the fill hole.  Wrap the threads of the plug with some teflon tape and install the plug.


The breather fitting had a hole in it and needed to be repaired. When I had the axle out I drilled and tapped it for a 7/16-20 thread. Into it is a 7/16-20 to 1/4" nipple. I will be replacing this with a -4 AN fitting. It uses the same thread size.


Finally here is a shot of the diff guard I installed.  Only thing left to do is assemble the brakes, bend some brake lines and put the wheels on.
