For any one that has converted a vac disco axle to non-vac:
What kind of seal did you use when you replaced the 2 piece shaft? I was planning to just use a long shaft from a non-vac dana 30, but I noticed the seals are going to be different. There's no place inside the (vac disco) HP 30 housing to install a seal, and the diameter is different between the vac disco and non vac disco shafts (at least where the seal mates). Does anyone have a part number for a seal that will work? What approach did you use?
Any other ideas / suggestions?
If I can't come up with anything, I'll probably just keep the two piece shaft and convert it to a cable disconnect similar to the 4x4 posi lock setup. I was just wanting to get an opinion from some of you guys who have been here before...
TIA
