strange sells billet aluminum ones you have to fit them to rear by milling them
if you get used factory ones you still a have to fit them they can be to tight or loose fit on bearing races and cause problems

Back in the early 90's I hand filed a set of Strange billet caps for my 12 bolt. It took forever and believe it or not it worked fine up to 2016 when I sold the rear end.

Default 12 bolt mods

Hello all, in the late 70's I installed several steel caps, mostly on the left side only.My buddy had a machine shop and I used his main cap grinder for the line bore machine.
