rebuilt 205

Also, If I get a closed rear what has to be changed on the drive shaft?

It's very easy to twin stick a 205 by yourself. There's no way I would pay someone to do it for me, but that's just me. I might make a thread about doing it soon too, I've got a few pics.

you mean a fixed yoke? youd need to have either your shaft modified orget a new shaft.

pvfjr...

if you do end up doing this, would it be ok if I added it to my library of np205 tech that I email out to everyone? I have some pics and a slightly vague Petersens article about the mod... but a better write up could certainly be done.

Yeah I don't think it would be too hard to make the shifters, but getting the throws right to lock in the gears would be the difficult part, but that's probably why on the ORD sticks they have that threaded looking section, probably to adjust it and then lock the adjustment in. The easiest part would be bending up the sticks themselves. Got a tubing bender at work for small stuff. I'll check out this North West Fab place, they got a website? I'll do a search.

Absolutely. I just gotta find the weekend when I'm gonna do it. Then I gotta find the time to get it all posted up. There was one thing I had a question about, I'll start another thread for that one.

Edit: Here's the new post, maybe you can shed some light on this. http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=173938

I checked out NWF today and was very impressed. They have 205 rebuild kits for $169. And rebild kits for the 203 rangebox for $99. Awesome, I'll probably get a doubler from them too. The only thing that I don't like is the possibility of stripping out threads on a aluminum part, but I bet as long as I followed their torque specs there probably wouldn't be an issue. But it looks like ATOR doubler only it's a few aluminum pieces and a person could adjust the clocking themselves.

The NWF doubler seems pretty nice. I was messing with the pieces of mine, it appears that there may be as many as 15 different clocking positions. You could really fine tune how your 205 sits.

awesome.
