Homebrew Hack-n-tap on pre 96 231.

Hey guys, I am curious if anybody has done their own hack/tap using random parts on a pre 96 np231? I have seen the info about what yokes will work, and I'm all fine and dandy about that, but what about the seal housing like comes with the RE1801 kit from RE? It is the part in the center of the pic. I believe the part number is RM11500. Can this be purchased seperately? Has anyone machined their own on a lathe? I am super cheap, and don't mind spending time doing my own work. Any experience is appreciated. Thanks.

The other option is to switch over to the 96+ tailcone.

Yes according to Marcus (GO-JEEP) it can although he stated in his write-up he bought the whole kit, used the seal housing and sold the rest as a 96+ kit. Here's the link

what is the diff from 95 to 96.. and where would you get a 96 tailcone?

The 96+ has an internal seal,the yoke runs dry.I still have one boxed up and ready to ship(buyer found one closer)!
