I mentioned before, my buddy and I found a ring gear that bolted right in the front carrier, and now he says the Pinion works as well, except the Kia flange won't work. He's going to do onw of the following.

1) Machine the "make withheld" flange to match the Kia driveshaft. Most likely.

2) Machine the Kia flange to work. Probably not.

3) Machine a new flange out of billet. Most likely later.

His interest if piqued, since no R&Ps are available domestically and might sell sets. I will not reveal the donor make or car, so please don't ask.

He is waiting on a couple of ring sets to check the rear pig, but he took measurements and believes he knows what will work. I will let you know that the ratio is over 5:1.

I told him not to get his undies in a wad as I'm not sure if anyone will buy them.
