I need a pair of carrier caps for a BOP 8.2 rear end . The ones that came with the housing are for a Chevy 8.2 and will not work .

 

I have a set w/ orig. bolts.How does $40 including shipping sound?Where are you located? It is best to have access to several sets to find ones that fit well.I'm in Cobleskill NY.12043

 

I have contacted the fellow i am building this rear end for and am waiting for an answer . Thanks BOb

 

He is going to buy another complete rear end rather than gamble on the caps fitting . Thanks anyway . BOB

 

That is a wise decision.Fortunately for me I have 5 gal. buckets of caps from rears that I have scrapped over the last 45 years of doing rears.I buy rears with no caps when I can,because it seems I can always find a set of caps that fit well at the parting line.Then machine the cap to get a tight fit on the bearing race,which the factory wasn't to concerned with.Most factory rears you can wobble the races with your fingers even after the caps are tite.This is not acceptable, with the cap tightened I make sure it takes a small hammer to move the race.This is standard procedure on all of my builds.There are many things that can be done to a stock rearend to improve upon it's strength & longevity.Again,if you are anywhere near upstate NY I have those housings for $100
