There are adapter fittings made that turns this into a banjo fitting similar to a disc brake caliper. Makes line install a snap.

Ahh ok, I was aware of the change. The 80e I have is an earlier design.



What are you guys doing for a rebuild for say, 600 / 600?

I'd live to get away from the adapter plate but the replacement ultra-bell is expensive.


If you run a 3.08 gear with t400 it is the same as a 4.10 with an 80e in overdrive.
